Stalker

By Jim Hoberman

Friday, July 3rd 2009 at 3:41am

(Andrei Tarkovsky, 1979). Loosely adapted from a novel by the sci-fi writers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, Tarkovsky’s last Soviet film is a perverse replay of Solaris’s cosmic voyage, a remake of Andrei Rublev in a secular world of post-apocalyptic misery. (It’s also weirdly evocative of David Lynch’s Eraserhead). Stalker is as devious as it is gorgeous—the only certain thing is its blatant anti-technological, anti-rational, anti-materialist bias.
