Drama. USA 1979, 202 min. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Starring: Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Laurence Fishburne, Dennis Hopper, Harrison Ford. In English with Russian subtitles. Francis Ford Coppola’s grandiose masterpiece returns to the big screen. Winner of the Palme d’Or, two Oscars, and three Golden Globes, “Apocalypse Now” is one of the most powerful (anti-)war films in history, showing war as an immersion in primitive madness. Like nothing else on earth, this hallucinogenic Wagnerian epic translated the tension and confusion of the Vietnam War and the 20th century at large into the timeless language of film.

Drama. UK, France, Sweden 1968, 149 min. Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. Starring: Erland Josephson, Susan Fleetwood, Allan Edwall. In Swedish, French, English with Russian subtitles. Alexander, a journalist and former actor and philosopher, tells his little son how worried he is about the lack of spirituality of modern mankind. In the night of his birthday, the third world war breaks out. In his despair Alexander turns himself in a prayer to God, offering him everything to have the war not happen at all. "The Sacrifice" was Tarkovsky's third film as a Soviet expatriate, after "Nostalghia" and the documentary "Voyage in Time", and was also his last, as he died shortly after its completion. Like 1972's "Solaris", it won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival.
