The Sacrifice
Synopsis
In 1953 the Korean War is entering the final stage. The People's Volunteer Army of China has launched its last major battle in Kumsong. In order to arrive on time and deliver enough ammo to the Kumsong front line, the soldiers have to defend themselves against the never ending bombardments of enemy bombers and race against time to repair the last bridge, all while facing supply shortages and with inferior equipment.
Cinematic DNA
Tarkovsky is definitely a god. If I should name one film, I think it's 'The Sacrifice' that perhaps has made the greatest impression on me. This whole thought about saving the world, I had this thing in me, also, that I wanted to save the world.
