Watched this yesterday and was blown away

One of the most profound films I’ve ever seen. To call it a masterpiece wouldn’t do it justice.

One of my all time favorite films, and it gets extra credit because Tarkovsky made it. Highly recommended!

When I watched Stalker, I thought about who his influences might have been, because I felt like I was watching a David Lean movie of a Samuel Beckett play. But do you think that the film Stalker has influenced contemporary film makers?

And please, watch it with decent headphones or good audio system.

this is an AI text, likely read out by an AI voice. The ultimate goal, and the object that grants the innermost wish, that the visitor likely isn't actually aware of, is a room WITHIN the zone. Not the general area of "the Zone".
