The CinePearl Take

Stalker is a 1970s Russian film that blends drama, science fiction and arthouse science fiction — expect human relationships at the centre of the story and big ideas and speculative worlds. Andrei Tarkovsky directs and the script comes from Arkady Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky. Vladimir Zamanskiy and Nikolai Grinko are among the leads. Made in Soviet Union, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring Russian-language films. Released in 1979, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 163 minutes, it asks for a proper sit-down.
