Stalker review by K&S
Tramp's Outing...

Imagine David Lynch directing "Last of The Summer Wine", but moving it from the Yorkshire Dales to Chernobyl. Extend the programme to nearly 3 hours, strip it of any humour & re-brand it as Sci-Fi. Watch Professor (Foggy), Writer (Clegg) & Stalker (Compo) stagger aimlessly through railway sidings, fields & deserted buildings heading for the room in "The Zone", hoping to make their wishes come true, but taking a long time over it! We kept expecting the guys to stumble upon a bath & go sailing down a hill, but unfortunately - it just didn't get as exciting as that! Some readers may say we're missing the point, but we disagree - if you want to see a beautiful thought-provoking film, then watch: "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter And Spring" - it's much more enjoyable...
Hope this clarifies the matter!

Stalker review by Jawbreaker
Essential

There’s nothing really to compare Stalker to which is a unique piece of Russian science fiction from the minds that were responsible for Blade Runner. While the film departs on many aspects it maintains a eerie sense of wonder; ideally matched with Tarkovsky’s methodical style of directing. Responsible for the influential Solaris, his slow approach leads us into a series of wonderfully planned and framed delicate panning shots. It is a fascinating journey spread across two DVD’s due to the infamous problems in production that resulted in a re-shoot and a two-part approach. Stalker is a remarkable film for many reasons on and off the screen.
