x M. @ExcessMale 3d Somehow this pic has become Tarkovsky’s most popular film at least within the modern American landscape. I do not think this is his strongest flourish however this is still mandatory viewing. ‘Stalker’ is a film that rewards, enlightens and entices in new ways upon each revisit. The deliberately restrained camera work and up front poetic use of color are seen as unusual and off color just as they were upon release. Love it, hate it, disregard it as boring talky fluff, etc. No rational person can say it lacks unwavering fervent vision.

The opening and closing scenes were very effective. As ever with Tarkovsky, there is nothing else out there quite like it. An artistic triumph. Will need a re-watch.

See more Merick H @RT59327164 Nov 10 Pretentious crap... and the pretentious response will be... you just didn't get it; it was over your head... yeah, okay... The pacing of this film is terrible-- a few really interesting lines, followed by twenty minutes of utter tedium, followed by an interesting monologue with some "profound" insights, followed by another twenty minutes of mind numbing boredom... and on and on and on... It explores some interesting ideas, but the story itself sucks and we have no reason to care about these characters... You could write a fascinating paper about this film, and it would probably be a lot of fun to discuss in some sort of film group, but the experience of sitting through it is not enjoyable. It has its moments, for sure, but as a whole, it is tedious... Pretentious crap. 100% from the critics? Give me a break...
