There are four ways to make a film as powerful and memorable as Stalker: 1) Minimal, but well-use, of dialogue and monologues, 2) The film should be clouded by an atmosphere of immense power and tranquility, 3) Explain nothing, but show everything and anything you possibly can. Let your thinking flow from your brain to the camera and 4) Have Andrei Tarkovsky on one's team. With the exception of th... read more

Look I found this film overrated, all the fuss about it being brilliant, yeah whatever this film is pretty boring and I can think of about a billion other films better than this that have a lower all around rating. Couldn't keep my eyes open it was that boring. Don't bother to watch this unless you have run out of sleeping pills.

Incluso dentro del cine soviético, ninguna de las formas de hacer cine que he presenciado de múltiples cineastas se asemeja a la que tenía Andrei Tarkovski. Tarkovski era un hombre al que le gustaba realizar trabajos reflexivos, no tanto entretener a la gente; Solaris, Andrei Rublev, Zérkalo, entre otras películas son un ejemplo claro de lo que estoy narrando. Sin embargo, esta obra de la que... read more

Description: Near a gray and unnamed city is the Zone, an alien place guarded by barbed wire and soldiers. Over his wife's numerous objections, a man rises in the dead of night: he's a stalker, one of a handful who have the mental gifts (and who risk imprisonment) to lead people into the Zone to the Room, a place where one's secret hopes come true. That night, he takes two people into the Zone: a popular writer who is burned out, cynical, and questioning his genius; and a quiet scientist more concerned about his knapsack than the journey. In the deserted Zone, the approach to the Room must be indirect. As they draw near, the rules seem to ch ... (more)

"13.3. HBO Uusintakatselu. Tää oli taas jo alkuun jännittävä kokemus tää uusinta, sillä Stalkerhan oli vuosia mulle se ensteks lemppari. Reilut 15 vuotta taas viimekerrasta ja jälleen hieno huomata, millaisen jäljen on elokuva jättänyt ja paitsi herättää ne samat tunteet, palauttaa ikään kuin ajassa taaksepäin. Pitkien ottojen, tajuttoman hienon kuvaston ja äänisuunnittelun voimin mystinen tunnelma imee sisäänsä irti päästämättä siinä määrin, ettei muuta edes tar"

This is Cinema (92 movies items)

"Creo que está más cerca de ser una obra maestra cinematográfica que de una película de culto. El legado de Tarkovski como director es innegable, pero admiro más el hecho de que el hombre pudo hacer una película limitadisima en varios aspectos. Supongo que Stalker habla bastante sobre el propósito del hombre en un mundo que ha perdido cualquier ápice de esperanza, y en ese sentido habla sobre Tarkovski como un hombre que entregó todo por el arte. Su final es interpretativo bajo la óptic"

“Stalker may not be my favourite of Andrei Tarkovsky's films, that belongs to Andrei Rublev, which is from personal opinion the greatest Soviet film ever made. It's also not his most accessible(Ivan's Childhood), if anything only Solaris is more divisive. However Stalker is still an outstanding film, it loses momentum ever so slightly at the end but not enough for it to hurt the film.

As with all Tarkovsky films, Stalker is brilliantly made. It is grittier and more muted in colour than with his other films, but still maintains that hypnotic dream-like quality that the cinematography in his films have. The scenery is evocatively atmospheric, mundane but in a good way. Tarkovsky's direction again is nigh-on impeccable, showing a mastery of visuals and mood. Stalker is hauntingly sco” read more

1001 Movies ... my own version (1970's) (100 movies items)

" Notes: To be honest, even though I expected it, it still turned out to be a rather challenging movie. I mean, basically, it is about three guys wandering for almost 3 hours in a place called the ‘Zone’ and, even though it does sound like a science-fiction feature, there was nothing really futuristic about this place. Of course, the fans of this movie in particular and in Tarkovsky in general would argue that this movie went just way beyond being a simple SF feature and they would be right."
