Additional InformationWith 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.
ReviewsPremiere - [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

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
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?Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
