"Dave, one of my deepest desires for this podcast was to do an episode on Stalker. like i said, it's a movie i saw for the first time about two years ago. I've seen it at least six or seven times since.

It's, it's probably the movie that means the most to me, even if i'm not sure why at all. And i think it's a, like a magical movie, and i do feel like it contains the, like, the meaning of life somehow..

But one of the many questions this movie raises is whether having your deepest desire granted is a good idea."

"And I remember the first time I watched it, I didn't know what to make of it the first time. Like, what the fuck was that? But I knew like, holy shit, like there's something going on in this movie and I was so excited. I watched it again the next day. Like I was just, just spellbound by it and I still am without knowing what it's even about."

"Like the art of cinema here is doing stuff that other art forms can't. Part of the what that is, that art is that it hits you at a level that is below language. You know, it's not something that can be fully described. You do have to see it. You have to feel it. Every time I watch it, I always go for a walk afterwards and it makes me like alert to the world in a way. I wasn't before I watched it. Like the textures, like just the aliveness of what I'm seeing, like the sounds, especially the soundscape of this movie is incredible. And like, so then I go for a walk and the world sounds different and looks different. It's breathing and alive in a way that just, it wasn't before. And like that's the thing I'm most grateful that I'm a, a movie can do and this movie does it more than any other movie for me."

 

Fra Very bad Wizards episode 253: Tarkovsky's Starchild. Som at læse Geoff Dyers bog om mesterværket.

Stalker ligger stadig mere eller mindre frit tilgængelig på Youtube, HBO Max og Filmstriben.

Ja, dette er et dumt spørgsmål med et nemt svar, men det er der kun fordi spam-robotter er for dumme til at besvare den slags, mens mennesker ikke er.
