TI - The Sacrifice, Melancholia : The end of the world or the birth of the Rebel
AB - In the movie The Sacrifice (1986), directed by Andreï Tarkovski, nuclear war threatens the world and Alexander sacrifices himself to save the mankind. In Melancholia (2012), by the danish director Lars von Trier (who considers Tarkovski as his master), Justine welcomes the upcoming destruction of the earth by an extraplanet. Both directors use here a same context, the imminent end of the world, to build a peculiar and special character – a chosen one, the Rebel. Ernst Jünger 's figure of the Rebel (The Retreat into the Forest) will help us follow Tarkovski and Lars von Trier's paths through the apocalypse.
