There's not a great deal to say about There Will Be No Leave Today. It was another student film of Tarkovsky's that has since become well-known thanks to the director's more legendary, later films.

The movie deals with one man struggling with religionand fears of an impending nuclear war, all the while struggling to connect with friends and family who have visited him for his birthday. Such themes are present in many films directed by Tarkovsky, and it's not surprising to watch The Sacrifice and feel...
