Reviews

Premiere - [A] pure masterpiece, with every frame a perfectly composed work of art, Sight and Sound - ...A preternaturally vivid style rendered Dosteyevskyan by monochrome photography whose raspingly harsh textures suggest some grainy newsreel footage of the future..., Uncut - Its intriguing ideas and starkly moving imagery haunt you for years

Author

Boris Strugatsky, Arkady Strugatsky

Additional 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.

it's important to me that everyone thinks I'm intelligent, knowledgeable and sophisticated, so what can I say about this film that will impress people? Well it's directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. He's an auteur, that means he's really good. And this film is a classic. Everyone knows that. It's a complex oblique parable. It's an endlessly pliable allegory about human consciousness. It's.....erm....... No, it's no good, I have to be honest. This film is about a man leading two other men to a place where their wishes will come true. They arrive to find nothing there and then they go home. And that's it. But this film lasts two and a half hours, isn't there more to it than that? No there isn't. It's stupefyingly boring. It's a waste of celluloid, or whatever it's made out of.

Dammit, now no-one's going to believe I'm an intellectual. But 'stupefyingly' is a big word isn't it?

It is Andrei Tarkovsky's cinematic poem pre dating but anticipating Chernobyl. Beautiful long takes. A visual meditation.

Jaded Perceval - The Film Stalker
I would categorise this film as drama rather than science fiction because although it has a sci-fi storyline (something falls on Earth – a meteorite, an alien spacecraft – creating a ‘Zone’ where no one lives and where strange things happen), to me it is a rather serious comment on the human condition. So if you are looking for state-of-the-art space hardware, special effects and weird aliens – not to mention Luke Skywalker/Buck Rogers type heroes – you will be somewhat disappointed. The story concerns the ‘Stalker’, a kind of outlaw who guides people safely through the Zone – in this case a professor and a writer (perhaps representing the present day meaningless state of art, literature and technology) to a ‘Room’ where anyone’s deepest desires can be made to come true.

I would categorise this film as drama rather than science fiction because although it has a sci-fi storyline (something falls on Earth – a meteorite, an alien spacecraft – creating a ‘Zone’ where no one lives and where strange things happen), to me it is a rather serious comment on the human condition. So if you are looking for state-of-the-art space hardware, special effects and weird aliens – not to mention Luke Skywalker/Buck Rogers type heroes – you will be somewhat disappointed. The story concerns the ‘Stalker’, a kind of outlaw who guides people safely through the Zone – in this case a professor and a writer (perhaps representing the present day meaningless state of art, literature and technology) to a ‘Room’ where anyone’s deepest desires can be made to come true. Reaching the Room is dangerous, and needs a lot of courage, but is achievable. Actually entering the Room, well, that’s another matter. The film is very allegorical and many levelled, and the brilliant photography is done in such a way that it makes ordinary things – sometimes displaced – appear mysterious and menacing. Every time I watch this film, I get something new from it, for it is a many layered drama encapsulating the human predicament. It could be for instance, taken as a retelling of the story of the Quest for the Holy Grail – without the knights in shining armour, instead a rather seedy looking outlaw, the Zone representing the Fisher King’s/Elliot’s Wasteland. It could also be taken as a journey through the human unconscious to that secret ‘room’ that contains our innermost being/the Self/the Atman etc. There is no doubt also a Marxist interpretation of the story (the film was after all produced in a Marxist country), but not being a Marxist myself (having put such toys aside years ago) I am unable to comment on this. Arcady and Boris Strugatsky were involved in writing the script for the film, which was very loosely based on their novel, Roadside Picnic. But whereas the Stalker in the novel is more like the Harrison Ford/Bruce Willis type of ‘hero’, in the film he's a sort of holy fool – a jaded Perceval perhaps.
