Episode 308: Stalker / Сталкер (1979)

Andrei Tarkovsky 's Stalker (1979) is a deceptively simple film about three men who venture into the verdant and mystical "Zone" in search of a room where their innermost desires will come true. Based loosely on Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkadiy Strugatskiy, the film becomes a meditative experience about art, religion, and logic. Elric Kane and Joe Yanick join Mike to discuss this unusual "science fiction" film. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
