Stalker

"don't let me get in my zone. don't let me get in my zone. don't let me get in my zone. i'm definitely in my zone." - Tarkovsky, probably when i'm writing a review, i like to meet the film on its own level. if a film is dumb, i'll write a dumb review. but if i find a film clever or deep, i still might write a dumb review but it is easier for me to analyze it seriously if i am compelled to do so. it is infinitely easier to write a dumb review for a smart film than it is to write a smart review for a dumb film. i really want to write a smart review right now but i am at a loss for words. i wish i could write a 20 page essay about this film but i feel like i just got stunlocked. but i will say, this is easily my favorite Tarkovsky film so far. and perhaps a top 20 or even top 10 film for me.
