Review of The Last Station (2009) by Amy C — 17 Apr 2011
A very moving and beautifully acted metaphor for the perversion of faith by organized religion. Sophia is afraid of losing the love that has sustained her and, as Tolstoy is increasingly gratified by the admiration, worship even (though he appears to shrug this off), Sophia feels the loss most acutely - not only to herself but to him.
Unable to bridge the divide, her desperation intensifies while he, unable or unwilling to understand her, moves further into the "movement" that has sprung from him even while so perverting both his philosophy and his very being.
This is a movie about love and how love (and not worship) must be at the heart of all true faith.
