STALKER [1979] (Artificial Eye - #215) [DVD5 + DVD9] [2002]

Deep within the Zone, a bleak and devastated forbidden landscape, lies a mysterious room with the power to grant the deepest wishes of those strong enough to make the hazardous journey there. Desperate to reach it, a scientist and a writer approach the Stalker, one of the few able to navigate the Zone's menacing terrain, and begin a dangerous trek into the unknown. Tarkovsky's second foray into science fiction after 'Solaris' is a surreal and disturbing vision of the future. Hauntingly exploring man's dreams and desires, and the consequences of realising them, 'Stalker', adapted from Arkady & Boris Sturgatsky's novel 'Roadside Picnic', has been described as one of the greatest SF films of all time.
