"A man writes because he is tormented, because he doubts. He needs to constantly prove to himself and the others that he's worth something. And if I know for sure that I'm a genius? Why write then? What the hell for?" "Stalker" is a disturbing masterpiece from brilliant Tarkovsky. The movie really scared the hell out of me for some reason. The dreamlike atmosphere and the intentional slow scenes, sets up this unnatural feeling I've never had before. It's visual poetry of both desire and dullness in Tarkovsky world. You could say it's the grey version of "The Wizard of Oz".

"Stalker" is a movie that unfortunately failed to keep my attention. I found myself having to pause the film 11 times, as I fell asleep 15 minutes after starting to watch it. The only thing that I can remember about the movie is that the photography is good. However, the lack of engagement in the story, characters and pacing made it difficult for me to stay awake and interested. It may be appreciated by those who enjoy slow-paced, contemplative films that focus on atmosphere and visuals over action and plot, but for me, it was a boring experience. The only positive thing I can say about the movie is that it could be better than a sleeping pill, if you're looking for something to help you fall asleep.

Starts slow. It picks up a bit. Looks amazing. Good sound. Great shots. The journey into the zone did have a brilliant atmosphere, sense of adventure and was intriguing. Some of the dialogue was thought provoking and meaningful.
My problem is that some of the shots (nearly all) are very long for t More

The cinematography in this is amazing. The yellow shots of life behind wire, The Zone being in full color, the use of blues. There are long shots of "nothing" that allow you to enter the same mind set as the people you are watching. The 4th wall is broken at times. It's a beautiful movie More

This really is the cinematic equivalent of "be careful for you wish for". Two characters - a teacher and a professor, seek out a "stalker" who can lead them through the maze of challenges that culminates in an heavily restricted area know as the zone. Why? Rumour has it, that when in that zone you m More

**More style than content.**

This was my first contact with the cinematographic work of Andrei Tarkovsky, a Soviet filmmaker who would end his career outside his native country when he fell into disgrace for allegedly spending too much money on films that were not worthy of the expense. A regrett More
