"I don't think Tarkovsky wants you to leave with that and the hints about monkey having some sort of supernatural power to me like I don't even think it's ambiguous by the end," he says. "It's so clear that this is just almost like a rehearsed thing that he says to impress the sophisticated women of whatever country they live in." The movie also brings you in so that you're like a part of it, according to actor Tamela Barbieri. 'The middle ages were more interesting because the world was open to so much enchantment'
It’s the episode that Tamler has been waiting for – a long deep dive into Andrei Tarkovsky’s mysterious masterpiece "Stalker." A writer and professor are led by their guide (Stalker) into a cordoned off “zone” that may have been visited by a meteorite (or aliens) a couple of decades earlier. Their destination – a room in the zone that according to legend grants people their deepest desire, the one that has made them suffer the most. We gush over Tarkovsky’s filmmaking, his use of sound and music, and the richness of the questions this movie raises about meaning, art, delusion, desire, science, and faith.
