Often hailed as a sci-fi masterpiece, Stalker chronicles the journey of three men seeking a room that grants wishes in the treacherous "zone." This film illustrates Tarkovsky's claim that "rhythm is not determined by the length of the edited pieces, but by the pressure of the time that runs through them." Like in many of Tarkovsky’s films, much of the narrative plays on
the background of or simply through the natural world. |
Stalker can be purchased from Amazon, viewed online, or on YouTube. Kenyon students can also watch it online through Kanopy Streaming.
