A "Stalker" has the skill to lead the curious past armed guards and mystifiying traps into a mysterious area known as The Zone, inside which there is rumored to be a room that will grant the visitor's innermost wish. Typically slow and impenetrably obscure movie by Tarkovsky, wh...( read more)
My least favorite Tarkovsky thus far. So talky, so ambivalent, so... dull.
I really should afford this a second and third chance as I was stuck reading the subtitles most of the first viewing. I do not relish the thought.
gorgeous and mesmerising tho the last quarter was a bit talky and thoroughly confusing. a kind of claustrophobic surrealist nightmare. wait, that's inland empire. i loved the ending tho i'm not sure what happened beyond that the stalker had some sort of existential crisis. pe...( read more)
Tarkovsky's exploration of the id is infinitely fascinating and at times equally impenetrable.
Tarkovsky's masterwork of science fiction is a must see for fans of the genre.
This dark highly atmospheric film is photographically on par with any Bergman or Kubrick film.
"Stalker" é um filme muito obscuro e principalmente, muito desolador, do início ao fim, em todas as cenas.
Não é racional que este filme tenha aporovação de 95-100% aqui no Flixster. Eu não entendo uma coisa dessas.
Extremamente lento, pretencioso e chato. Irritante em vários momentos. Algumas cenas bonitas, sim, mas não vale a pena.
E esse diretor possui algo semelhante à obsessão do Tarantino por pés, só que com carecas.

A deeply metaphysical and philosophical allegory about human desire and the search for happiness, Tarkovsky's Stalker is beautiful and hypnotical, though somehow difficult and not as sentimentally engaging as Solyaris.
Sometimes is ambiguous compared to the book "Roadside Picnic", in which is loosely based.
I think there should be a little more explanation about the zome, traps and objects left.
But overall the picture is quite striking.
I like the last scene...
