Stalker (1979)
Directed by Andrei
Tarkovsky this film loosely based on the novel “Roadside Picnic”
stars Alexander Kaidanovsky, Anatoli Solonitsyn and Nikolai Grinko.
Three men enter a quarantined zone in search of a room that gives you
whatever you want.
The plot of this film
may stray pretty far from it's source material but it is still a
fascinating watch that looks at the themes of greed. This may not be
the most dense sci-fi film you will see but it is well worth watching
and is certainly a departure from the usual. Long, slow takes litter
the film and they really help emphasis the haunting locations of the
film showing Tarkovsky's skill as a director.
5/5
