About this product
Product Information
With STALKER, Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky returns to the mind-bending, philosophy-tinged science fiction of SOLARIS. The setting is an unnamed country in an unforeseen postapocalyptic future. A meteorite has landed, and its impact has created a mysterious phenomenon known as the Zone, within which resides a sinister room said to grant humanity's deepest desires. Only Stalkers are able to enter the Zone, bringing intrepid citizens to test their strength and desires against the Zone's enigmatic treacheries. The film follows one such Stalker (Alexander Kaidanovsky) as he attempts to bring two characters known as Writer (Anatoli Solonitsyn) and Scientist (Nikolai Grinko) into the Zone. The hapless trio makes a difficult and mud-drenched journey, dodging military guards and invisible traps and enduring extreme psychological strain. While Tarkovsky avoids any direct political reading of STALKER, the film's allegorical structure presents a powerful and disturbing metaphor for humanity's loss of and subsequent quest for faith. The Stalker's struggle to rescue himself and his family while guiding those more wretched than himself creates a physical and metaphysical drama that leaves the viewer breathless. Blending visual, narrative, and cinematic conventions to portray the fractured logic of the Zone, Tarkovsky conjures a universe of despair and desire in which science, rationalism, and technology must face off against love, humanism, and faith.Product Identifiers

Greatest film in all cimema history imho
Mysticism and Lacaninan psychology unite in the cinematic telling this journey of 3 characters from Soviet Russia into The Zone; a place of mystery, danger, hypnotic image sequences, and subconscious desire. Featuring an incredible soundtrack by Eduard Artemyev.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Really great movie - slow, but stick with it to the end.
Amazing movie, but it is slow moving and you won't know what it's really all about until the last 10 minutes. Stick with it to the end. You'll be glad you did.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
