Andrei Tarkovsky s final Soviet feature is a metaphysical journey through an enigmatic postapocalyptic landscape, and a rarefied cinematic experience like no other. A hired guide the Stalker leads a writer and a scientist into the heart of the Zone, the restricted site of a long-ago disaster, where the three men eventuaIIy zero in on the Room, a pIace rumored to fulfiIl one s most deepIy heId desires. Adapting a science-fiction noveI by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, Tarkovsky created an immersive worId with a weaIth of material detaiI and a sense of organic atmosphere. A religious allegory, a refIection of contemporaneous politicaI anxieties, a meditation on film itseIf StaIker enveIops the viewer by opening up a multitude of possible meanings.
