What is Stalker about?
A guide leads a writer and a professor into a forbidden Zone said to contain a room that grants a person’s deepest wish.
Why watch Stalker?
A science-fiction pilgrimage stripped of spectacle and filled with dangerous ideas. Its ruined landscapes make faith, desire and disappointment feel like physical places one must cross.
