"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"

"Si ves esta película completa de un golpe y a su velocidad normal tu salud mental estará por los suelos."

“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

" 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."

" Date: 6/22/2021 Viewed: Criterion Channel First Viewing Note: I always wanted to watch Stalker for so many years because it looks absolutely amazing. I admit that I haven't seen much of Andrei Tarkovsky's work other than Ivan's Childhood (1962) and Solaris (I remember not liking it. However, that could change with a brand-new viewing). After watching this movie for the first time on the Criterion Channel, I was like "Wow!". I was speechless after the movie was over. Stalker is a masterpiece "
