Is there an alternate version of Tarkovsky's "The Sacrifice"?

Is there an alternate version of Tarkovsky's "The Sacrifice"? - Inspirational Message on Blue Concrete Pavement

I watched "The Sacrifice" on YouTube. The credits showed the original actors, so this was not a remake. Yet it did not have the famous fixed-camera burning-house scene. In this version the camera panned around on and off the house as it burned. I know I saw the original version many years ago where the camera did not move for several minutes. What gives?

Best Answer

There is no alternate version, the one you saw is the only version.

I believe you are mixing this scene in The Sacrifice with the burning house scene in The Mirror which has a fixed-camera shot:
