Stalker

For the first half of the film, I had a hard time resonating with Tarkovsky's philosophy. By the second half, I had gotten the hang of it. The stalker acts as a metaphorical guide for the writer and professor into the conscious, which is the zone. Their pursuit for the room that grants wishes is that of man's desire for truth, but upon contact with the room, they realise their fear for reveal. Moral of this mental analysis, humanity's fear of disclosure of their deepest wishes. The sepia monochrome part of the film are some of the most beautiful visuals put to screen, showing man's toxicity polluting them whole. This along with come and see might just be my greatest double feature yet.
