Stalker (1979 1080p) (www.youtube.com)

Stalker is a 1979 Soviet science fiction art film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky with a screenplay written by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky

The film tells the story of an expedition led by a figure known as the "Stalker" (Alexander Kaidanovsky), who guides his two clients—a melancholic writer (Anatoly Solonitsyn) seeking inspiration, and a professor (Nikolai Grinko) seeking scientific discovery—through a hazardous wasteland.

Supposed to watch this ASAP. Thanks for the reminder. I heard it's important to not split it up and it's been hard finding 2hr 45min with no distractions.

Looking forward to seeing this then playing the first STALKER video game. I know it's loosely based but gotta do it this way.

It's a bit of a slog at times but fully worth it. Definitely hide your phone before you start as there are some sections where the temptation is overwhelming (at least, I found them to be.)

This is based on the novel Roadside Picnic, by the same writers, which is also the source of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video games.

It was also a major influence on Annihilation.

Roadside Picnic is fantastic.

I remember this movie being sort of hypnotic. The story behind the filming of it is really interesting also, just a complete disaster/shit show
