Somewhere beyond the city limits lies the Zone. Nobody knows what it is or where it came from. Inside the Zone, somewhere, there is a Room. They say it grants your deepest wish.
«Stalker» is the masterpiece of Soviet director Andrei Tarkovsky, loosely based on the 1972 novel «Roadside Picnic» by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. A mysterious guide known only as the Stalker (Alexander Kaidanovsky) leads two clients — a cynical Writer (Anatoly Solonitsyn) and a rational Professor (Nikolai Grinko) — through a heavily guarded, ever-shifting wasteland called the Zone. Their destination: a Room said to fulfill one's innermost desires. But as they get closer, the real question is no longer whether the Room exists — it's whether any of them truly want what they think they want.
One of the greatest movies ever made. Ranked #43 by critics and #14 by directors in the Sight & Sound Greatest Films poll of 2022 (BFI). Cannes Film Festival 1980 — Ecumenical Jury Prize. Tarkovsky himself said: «I spent my whole life preparing for Stalker and filmed it for two years.»
Music by Eduard Artemyev. Cinematography by Alexander Knyazhinsky. 4K restoration by Mosfilm's Telekino and Computer Graphics division.

Со временем метафоры фильма стали прозрачнее и, одновременно, глубже. Сегодня я смотрю на „зону“ как на особый мир, где спасая себя, человек должен забыть о себе, как на пространство, реагирующее на все, что несет в себе человек. Слова Сталкера о музыке, необъяснимой, но резонирующей в нас (на которую реагируют не только люди) подчеркивают связь всего живого. „Зона“, с ее неисповедимыми путями, с особым течением времени, готовит человека к главному испытанию... Ярость Писателя на пороге Комнаты - свидетельство отчаяния человека, которому нечего сказать, ибо в нем нет ничего сокровенного! Все слова потеряли смысл и из него кричит экзистенциальная Пустота! Пока веришь, еще есть для тебя надежда... А жизнь есть то, что ты из нее делаешь... Неслучаен эпиграф к "Сталкеру", взятый Стругацкими из Уоррена: „Ты должен сделать добро из зла, потому что его больше не из чего сделать.“...
Но едва ли не более важным, чем постижение смыслов, является для зрителя возможность побыть в "зоне" - в "пространствах" Тарковского...
Благодарю!
Начал смотреть, камера наезжает на комнату, кровать.
Тарковская пауза.
Смотрю.
Кровать.
Пошел налить чаю.
Вернулся.
Кровать.
Пять минут кровать.
Десять.
Выпил чаю.
Кровать.
Прошло 20 минут.
Кровать.
Тарковский, думаю, превзошёл себя.
Оказалось дочка на паузу нажал.....
The four persons different messages deeply touch my heart.
- If ПИСАТЕЛЬ, he says “not your heart, but your НЕРБ maybe.
When I was 20 years old, honestly I could not understand anything and it was even boring….But now probably…or just I say love every single word during my translation.
Thank you very much Мосфильм for your consideration of the artistic ЦЕННОСТЬ instead of capitalism or populism.
Sincerely from Japan,
Петр S. Kato

Тут многие напоминают советского чиновника))
