Product description

Andrei Tarkovsky directs this Russian sci-fi drama about two men who are led to their innermost dreams in a strange place once inhabited by aliens. A Stalker (Aleksandr Kaidanovsky) leads writer Pisatel (Anatoli Solonitsyn) and a Professor (Nikolai Grinko) through an industrial wasteland called the Zone, in search of a room where truth is contained and wishes are said to be granted to anyone who enters. As the area has been sealed off by the government, the pair put their faith in the Stalker as he navigates his way through the Zone and along the way they each discuss their reasons for visiting the room.

Criterion lite - when they skimp on the booklet
Reviewed in Australia on 11 May 2021
Verified Purchase
I love this movie so much but I was disappointed in this release. Admittedly, I could have read or watched a proper unboxing for this one and my expectations were too high given the other Criterion editions I've collected. What was the issue? The booklet is really just a fold-out piece of paper not the gorgeous publication one would hope for given the expense. It just felt like a regular old DVD. The movie itself is gorgeous, and worthy, of any collection.

The codes are unsuitable for Australia. Perhaps it should not have been offered outside of the US.

Last of the Summer Wineski
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2021
Verified Purchase
Ever wondered what a dystopian 'Last of the Summer Wine' would look like set in the Soviet Union and shot for a budget of 500 rubles? Here we have three undirected individuals who head into the allegedly dangerous alien 'Zone' to seek out an Aladdin's Lamp, or Aladdin's Room, that grants wishes. The major differences between these characters and the Summer Wine cast is that the former are staggeringly miserable and the latter actually did something during their time on screen. There's no finding a rusting bathtub and sliding down a hill into a pond with this lot; instead, they wander around, sit down, wander around some more, lie in some mud, get up, wander around, argue about nothing, and so forth. We're constantly told that the Zone is dangerous, fatal even, and yet not one scene presents evidence of this.

Here I would normally write 'spoilers', except in this instance there's nothing to spoil.

After the initial breach of the Zone's border, one can be hopeful that other pertinent events might occur. They don't. We have a five minute train journey where we don't even see any scenery, just the back of someone's head. The 'stalker' - the group leader - goes for a walk whilst the remaining pair scowl at each other. Then they spend 30 minutes walking 50 yards across a field. Periodically someone lies down in the grass. They all lie down in some puddles whilst one of the group mutters absolute nonsense for half an hour,. For some reason, they go to sleep and we're treated to five minutes of a camera panning over random items on a stream bed. The group awake and the talking starts again. Later we are treated to a 20 minute scene of the three walking very slowly through a filthy tunnel. I need to emphasise that nothing whatsoever happens during all of this, nor at any stage in the film after the initial quarter of an hour.

More talking, more sitting, then sitting and talking. Nothing that is said is relevant to anything.

The movie, if anyone cares, is based on 'Roadside Picnic' by the Strugatsky brothers. The book is centred on an original concept and it's worth reading, although IMO falls short of being a classic. Aside from being based in 'The Zone' and involving a wish-granting room (it's actually a globe in the novel) this movie has no connection with he book.

My advice is save your money. If you want to an authentic experience of 'the Zone', wait until it's foggy then go out and lie in a puddle for three hours talking about any old nonsense that comes into your head. Then jump up and, pretending there's something terrible over the next hedge, return home using a different route.

Qualitativ unfassbar schlechte Ausgabe eines Meisterwerks, hier ist nichts remastered
Reviewed in Germany on 11 November 2018
Verified Purchase
Um Missverständnissen vorzubeugen: diese Rezension bewertet natürlich das Produkt, nicht den Film.
STALKER ist mit Sicherheit eines der ewigen Meisterwerke der Filmgeschichte, der wäre mit 10 von 5 Sternen immer noch unterbewertet. Die aktuelle BluRay-Ausgabe von CURZON / ARTIFICIAL EYE jedoch ist eine bodenlose Frechheit. Suggeriert wird, dass diese Ausgabe die 2017er Neuabtastung von Mosfilm enthält (dazu später mehr), die Wahrheit entspricht einem mit Super 8 im Kinosaal gefilmten Bootleg. Bild- wie tontechnisch absoluter Müll, jede VHS- oder DVD-Version älteren Datums ist dieser Veröffentlichung überlegen. Hier stimmt nichts, von der Farbgebung bis zum knackenden und rauschenden verzerrten Ton. Da hilft auch kein kleines Booklet als Dreingabe. Wer unbedingt einen physischen Bildträger besitzen will, sucht nach der Mosfilm Doppel-DVD mit immerhin remastertem (und remixtem) Ton, da sind auch die Interviews aus der Artificial-Eye-Version schon drauf enthalten und es gibt auch deutsche, wenn auch sehr fehlerhafte Untertitel.
Aber am besten spart Ihr Euch das Geld für diese Abzocke und die ganzen traurigen Ausgaben eines grossartigen Films und sucht auf youtube nach der russischen Neuabtastung, offiziell eingestellt von MOSFILM und mit neu übersetzten, ausblendbaren Untertiteln (in deutsch!). Macht Euren besten Rotwein auf und geniesst diese neuabgetastete Fassung des STALKER, der Unterschied ist schlichtweg unfassbar!

The best version through Criterion
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2019
Verified Purchase
My review is not going to focus on the film itself as, in my humble opinion it is a masterpiece that rewards repeat viewings. Anyway, others have commented on the film far more eloquently than I in other reviews here. I wanted to focus on the Blu Ray version that you need to watch it on. Having previously owned the Curzon print of this, I was amazed at how far better the Criterion version was. A little more expensive I know but worth every penny in both sound and picture quality.

I wanted to watch this to read Dyer's Zona
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2019
Verified Purchase
I watched this with an eye to going on to read Dyer's Zona - a narrative of the film. I knew what to expect from Tarkovsky and I happily enjoyed the film. It is hardly a whodunnit? It deliberately leaves gaps and false clues, but I happen to be ok with this kind of film. I don't find it winds me up like it does with lots of people. I like the slow pace, the shifting moods and the generalised air of significance, constantly deferred as the blokes actually just bumble around. If you liked this then why not try yourself on Andrei Rublev (1966) next, rather than the more obvious Solaris (1972)?

Magnificent film, dreadful print
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2016
Verified Purchase
Artificial Eye has missold this release. The print quality is dire, the sound quality is terrible. One of the truly great films of the post-war period has been given very poor treatment here. It's caused me to pause before buying the rest of AE's Tarkovsky blu-rays.
