"Stalker" is a disturbing masterpiece from brilliant Tarkovsky. The movie really scared the hell out of me for some reason. The dreamlike atmosphere and the intentional slow scenes, sets up this unnatural feeling I've never had before. It's visual poetry of both desire and dullness in Tarkovsky world.
You could say it's the grey version of "The Wizard of Oz".
