"It is shot with the greatest suspense yeah and i you know like i'm on the edge of my seat as i'm watching it for the first time but it's just walking through a weird old abandoned tunnel that's dripping," he says. "The danger never really appears or those walking through a pipe no uh in the meat grinder rightYeah, there's no explanation for why [the stalker] doesn't always go first given that he's done this before."
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.
