Tarkovsky's 'Stalker' available for free on Youtube

6 posts in this topic

Just putting this out there for fans of arthouse cinema, the full film came up on my Youtube feed just now and thought others might be interested (it's been put out by the company that owns the rights to the film, so it's completely above board). Here's the Youtube description, for those who aren't familiar with the film: 'Based on the novel "Roadside Picnic" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. The Zone that arose on Earth for unknown reasons attracts attention with inexplicable phenomena that occur there. A rumor has spread that in the center of the Zone there is something that gives a person everything he wants. But staying in the Zone is deadly, and therefore it is strictly guarded. There, each for their own reasons, the Writer and the Professor go, the Stalker leads them to the mysterious center, feeling and understanding the Zone...'

It's quite a slow-paced, quiet film, and you might find it a struggle if you have a short attention-span, but it's thought-provoking, beautifully shot, and it has a hypnotic quality to it (it could be a good film to watch whilst high xD).

@modmyth Ah man yeah, fantastic soundtrack, so atmospheric.

Just FYI, 'Ivan's Childhood''Andrei Rublev', and 'The Mirror' are also available on Youtube, too.
