Stalker (1979)



A guide leads two men through an area known as the Zone to find a room that grants wishes.

From memory: Slow, thoughtful, complex science fiction masterpiece with spectacular landscape cinematography and a dark, brooding atmosphere; probably Tarkovsky's best work.

Halliwell*: "Part political allegory, part personal fantasy, all very fascinating but rather hard tack for anybody in search of entertainment."

Maltin***: "Stark, eerie, cerebral story...Very slow but well acted and rewarding."
