Stalker. 1979 / Andrei Tarkovsky

Stalker (1979) - Andrei Tarkovsky Akira (1988) - Katsuhiro Ôtomo

My reaction the first time i saw it.

Worst scene. Should have ended when they're at the room and it starts raining inside.

I have fallen asleep 4 times trying to watch this movie

Richie Hawtin sampled from this movie in his MV.

When I see Stalker in my feed, I know I'm in the room.

One of the best. This film has had a huge impact on our game. A reference to the emotions and atmosphere that is unparalleled...

Overrated pseudo-intellectual nonsense, everything is based on the search for deep secrets or what is not there - like, think it up yourself))) brilliant

you forgot to mention that that visually impressive movie is after the even greater book "Roadside Picnic" by the Strugatsky brothers

Stars of the Lid samples this scene in the closing minute of Requiem for Dying Mothers, Pt. 2. One of my favorite tracks from the duo.

I’m watching this tonight!!! I had never heard of it before!!!!

смотрит на людей в баре еще полтора часа. Люди молча смотрят в ответ. Уходит. Бармен: — Тарковский гений!

Tarkovsky's movies are pure poetry.

It’s a movie about the ghost of a cat

For some reason, among my friends there are two camps: those who fiercely hate the film and those who love it; by the way, I like all of Tarkovsky. Some of his films are, of course, too long, but overall they are interesting to watch, just like Fellini.

Заходит в бар мужик. Садится за стойку. Десять минут сидит молча. Поворачивается в сторону окна, еще десять минут сидит молча. Подзывает бармена. Смотрит ему в глаза, бармен смотрит в ответ. Это продолжается примерно полчаса. Просит стакан воды. Бармен приносит стакан. >

And another of his masterpieces:

todo en el universo es electromagnetismo, lucha de campos de acción y de inducción. Y sí, la mente puede hacerlo, y sí, la información en energía neutra, o fantasmas, también. Electromagnetismo. Agua y baterías que siempre se descargan, eso puede conformar cantidad que lo empleé

Still need to watch his Solaris!

I once watched it in a theater and the whole audience fell asleep. It was a magical moment and I will forever love this film.

It's like giving superpowers to a house cat.

Isn’t this a reference to the Soviets famous telekinetic granny?

Everytime i come across this scene, The dull flame of Desire plays in my head

Мужик смотрит на него пять минут. Кладет голову на стол, лежит так еще двадцать минут. Погружает палец в стакан и начинает им водить туда–сюда, помешивая воду. Это длится час. После этого встает, надевает пальто и уходит, но в дверях застывает и

Poetry in motion..picture. Geoff Dyer's 'Zona' - 'a book about a fim about a journey to a room' is well worth a read :)

I found that awesome book & movie through going down a rabbit hole (also finding the game) after watching @shiey being a "stalker" & hiking/sneaking to Prypiat. how the definition of "stalker" changed from fiction to reality - although that also might only be shiey's philosophy

Best movie ending ever

Oh, yes. I was taken aback by this scene.
