“A revelation of art at its highest aspirations.”
—Roger Ebert
“STALKER is Tarkovsky’s greatest achievement, and one of film’s greatest accomplishments, as well.”
—Insession Film
“Has enough hauntingly beautiful images and profound ideas to linger in one’s mind forever.”
—T.V. Guide
In one of the most immersive and rarefied experiences in the history of cinema, a trio of men head into the heart of the Zone, the restricted site of a long-ago disaster and home to the fabled Room, a place said to fulfill one’s deepest-held desires. For what would become his final Soviet feature — a fateful adaptation of sci-fi masters the Strugatsky Brothers — Andrei Tarkovsky crafts a visually stunning work that is part religious allegory, part reflection of contemporary political anxieties, and an all-encompassing meditation on film itself.
