  • This May at the Film Society, experience the mysteries and revelations of Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1979 science fiction masterpiece in a new digital restoration. Twenty years ago a falling object decimated a provincial Russian town, and those who later went near the crash site-now known as The Zone-disappeared. Access is strictly prohibited, but outsiders can still get in with the help of a “stalker.” Inside The Zone is The Room, within which secret wishes can be granted. Based on the novel Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers, Stalker is a visually extraordinary and philosophically provocative fable about the limits of knowledge-personal, scientific, and spiritual. New digital restoration by Mosfilm. A Janus Films release.
    The Film Society of Lincoln Center is devoted to supporting the art and elevating the craft of cinema. The only branch of the world-renowned arts complex Lincoln Center to shine a light on the everlasting yet evolving importance of the moving image, this nonprofit organization was founded in 1969 to celebrate American and international film. Via year-round programming and discussions; its annual New York Film Festival; and its publications, including Film Comment, the U.S.’s premier magazine about films and film culture, the Film Society endeavors to make the discussion and appreciation of cinema accessible to a broader audience, as well as to ensure that it will remain an essential art form for years to come.

    Tarkovsky is a damn genius. Solaris and Stalker are the best movies I have ever seen in my life. They change the mind.
    I am proud that these films were made by a Soviet person in the USSR. It is strange that such a thing was possible in those years in our country. I was born in 1979 when Stalker was filmed...

    It is a mistake in the description. The location where all happens definitely is not a “provincial Russian town”, but instead it is a place thoroughly deprivated from any social or cultural links. It is a key component of an entire aesthetic of this movie: these characters can be from everywhere… or from nowhere… they are just humans. In an original novel that was a base of this film, the “Roadside Picnic" of brothers Strugatsky, the location was a provincial small town somewhere in British Commonwealth, mostly likely in Northern Canada. However, “Roadside Picnic” contains a completely another aesthetic and logic from “Stalker”, it is a masterpiece of classical science fiction containing both philosophical approaches and a healthy dose of thrilling adventure. (And, yes, it has no any relation to Chernobyl tragedy, which was happened seven years later than the premiere of “Stalker”!)

    All of Tarkovsky's films are horror films. They're dramas, sure, but they're all paced, edited, sound designed and shot like horror films. His horror is that of the human condition rather than necessarily something supernatural, but it's a completely fair case to say that he is indeed a horror filmmaker - and that it makes sense to edit this trailer as if it is a horror film. Stalker is definitely a quasi-horror film as is The Mirror, or Solaris, but in a poetic and simple way that only a filmmaker like Tarkovsky could pull off.

    Somebody said that every frame of Tarkovsky' movies can be printed and hanged in the Art Museums around the world as masterpieces. If you look at the art of cinema as a whole Tarkovsky is such an outlier, it is almost impossible to describe other than "this is just pure magic". Yes, I am well aware of Bergman, Fellini and Kubrick. But they are different. More cerebral if you like. Not an emotional overload. Not saying that Tarkovsky is "better". Just so unique, like he came from different place (planet) and time.

      I did my bachelor’s art degree senior thesis on why aren’t certain movies in our art history books yet, like modern art is with photography, sculpture, and paintings? One of my examples was the fact that Schindler’s List is exactly how you described - every frame of it could be printed and hung in an art museum. I hate the fact that the movie is pure trash propaganda (although I didn’t know that when I was young and in college and wrote that paper), but it remains the fact that the cinematography is truly something special and spectacular.
      I’ve not seen Stalker yet, but I’ll see if I can track it down based off of what you said.

Or had used much of the budget, so wound up having to reshoot with the budget intended for the second part alone or the second half or something.
      It was apparently a real nightmare of a shoot, scenes that were intended to take days were forced to be shot in hours due to the military only lending them equipment for a limited time, the conditions were horrible, it's likely a number of the cast and crew (including tarkovsky) died later from toxicity or poisoning in the environment and so on...one if those movies that has as interesting a story in the making as the film itself

    I really love how the intense discussions of the characters suck you into their plight. Not because what they say is simply 'interesting'. Because we, the audience, can't come up with any better ideas than the intelligent characters to process their situation or make better decisions than them. So, in a sense, it's like you're right there in the movie thinking "yeah, I'd be confused too and I'd probably do the same thing, and I wouldn't have better answers". It's the opposite of what made films like Prometheus so disappointing because, in Prometheus, the characters often made out-of-character decisions just to lurch the plot forward.

    Stalker is one of those films, that you do not watch for entertainment purposes, you watch it as a vehicle for deep meditation.

    I am a huge Tarkovsky fan though Stalker is probably my least favorite film of his. Obviously it is still a work of genius.

      The Criterion Collection Blu-ray edition is Fantastic. Stalker, 2001 & Blade Runner - my top 3 films.

    A very rare film; a masterpiece, in fact.

    I like how that German shepherd influenced Tarkovski's development as a film director and artist and now Andrei invited his old, down on his luck, mentor to act in this movie. That's a nice touch showing Tarkovski's gratitude and character.
