| description | This article seeks to contrast the libertarian ambitions of two great contemporary filmmakers -Andrei Tarkovsky and Lars von Trier- through a sample of their work, and taking into account the ethical resonances of their productions. Specifically, Tarkovsky’s film Offret/Sacrifice (1986) will be analised and, within it, the emphasis will be placed on the main character: Alexander; the same will be done with von Trier, but with the film The house that Jack built (2018) and the character called Jack. Beyond a mere cinematographic analysis, the article explores the richness or poverty of the inner world of the characters in both films and, albeit implicitly, shows their importance as models for clinical or public discussion on issues such as ethics or violence towards other people, our conceptual reading will mainly draw on the work of the philosopher Sören Kierkegaard and some counterpoints with the political theorist Hannah Arendt. |

Este artículo busca contrastar las ambiciones libertarias de dos grandes cineastas contemporáneos –Andréi Tarkovski y Lars von Trier– a través de una muestra de su obra, y teniendo en cuenta las resonancias éticas de sus producciones. En concreto, de Tarkovski se analiza la película titulada Offret/Sacrificio (1986) y, dentro de ella, se pondrá el énfasis en el personaje principal: Alexander; con von Trier se hará lo propio, si bien con la película The house that Jack built/La casa que Jack construyó (2018) y el personaje denominado Jack. Más allá de un mero análisis cinematográfico, el artículo indaga en la riqueza o pobreza del mundo interior de los personajes de ambas películas y, aunque implícitamente, muestra su importancia como modelos para la clínica o la discusión pública en torno a temas como la ética o la violencia hacia otras personas, nuestra lectura conceptual se sostendrá principalmente en la obra del filósofo Sören Kierkegaard y en algunos contrapuntos con la teórica política Hannah Arendt.
