I first encountered this and other Tarkovsky films during my degree. I found most of his films hard work - especially Mirror, but there is a truth and poetry in his films that leads to repeat viewing. Thanks for the comment, I shall definately check out your review.Shaun Anderson [The Celluloid Highway]https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066744649878418309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-64419411689528536602010-03-23T11:29:51.738+00:002010-03-23T11:29:51.738+00:00My first blog post ever was a review for Stalker. ...My first blog post ever was a review for Stalker. Like you say, watching a Tarkovsky film can be very challenging, often times I have to leave the movie and come back to it the next day. But its ultimately a rewarding experience. Stalker is defenetly a heavy film, very philosophical and symbolic.<br /><br />I love how he focuses on images and landscapes, giving nature importance over everything Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.com
