Review of Stalker

Stalker (1979)
9/10
Not Just For Entertainment
12 April 2008
Thats right, most movies are made to entertain, but not Andrei Tarkovsky's movies. His movies are the highest form of art, and not everyone can appreciate it, his movies are not fast paced, or very romantic or filled with comedy but his movies takes you to places where very few directors take you (Kurosawa, Bergman among few) a place where you begin to look for answers, truth, soul. This movie is no different than AK's other movies, The movie is about aliens, zone but you wont see anything which is usually expected in this genre, like too much make up, cool gadgets, aliens and what not..but instead here these are just in the background for three mens to search their souls, find the true meaning of life and being human. Direction is top class,cinematography is top notch and acting is good too. See this movie not with much expectation for entertainment but to see some highest form of art in cinema and just be amazed by the supreme art by the Tarkovsky.
