Into the Zone with Stalker
Stalker re-entered the conversation about two years ago, following the release of Annihilation. The similarities are strong, but Tarkovsky’s monolithic work is a spiritual journey that asks evokes big questions without handing out any answers.
On this week’s show, we’re discussing transcendentalism, formalism, structure, ideology, and much, much more as we dive deep into this work. We try to engage with the big questions being asked, and we come away from the room in much the same way the adventurer’s in our film do.
So, tune in and join us as we talk all about Stalker.
