Why was this so fucking long? Almost every single scene was twice as long than it needed to be.

Welcome to Russian cinema.

Game > book > "movie"

The Witcher film didn't have that problem and the director and producers were Russian.

he didn't have the money or time to finish the special fx work he planned so he just left philosophical moments of contemplation where the cgi monsters should be.

It was very amateur and didn't feel real. "Th...there are mines here, we should be careful"

Alert the fucking media

Because Tarkovsky made movies for an audience that didn't mind long movies
>>67008499

The stalker does come off as rather superstitions at times.I guess that is the point.You are supposed to doubt if the Zone is real or not or something.
It confused me a little at first because ,having read the book, I started with the presumption that it is.

Didn't he put a long, drawn-out driving sequence into Solaris specifically so that the impatient people who were "too stupid" would leave the theater?
>>67012684
That's amazing, hahaha. I hope so.
>>67008499
I love the way he moves the camera. So distinctly Tarkovsky. Yeah, it's long, but it gives such an atmosphere.
>tfw no sequel
>Artificial Eye finally pumping out the Tarkovsky blu rays they promised like a year ago
>Stalker and the Sacrifice won't be available til July
>tfw learning Russian so will soon be able to be the ultimate patrician

>did he actually die not knowing he was a hack?
This kills me everytime I read it.

He put it in because he wanted to contrast the city with the countryside. This is also why the city eventually Is in black and white.
Did say though in an interview that he put the scene in so "fools would know they should leave" or something like that but it was mostly just a glib statement.

Waste really. Russian has a pretty shit tier cinema.
You should have learned Spanish, Japanese, or German.
>>67013810
I know Spanish and German and I'm not a weeb. Also I'm mainly doing it for the literature, but films will be a nice bonus.
>>67008499
For whatever reason I found the movie's portrayal of the zone to be very silent hillish.
>>67013858
Don't listen to that anon there are plenty of great Russian films. My personal favorite is The Return.
>>67012822
dont tempt f8 m8, it might not be 8/8
>>67013033
that's more like the 21 year old version, the 16 year old version would be tarantino and wes anderson
>>67013039
How easy is it to learn compared to say spanish?
>>67012042
Fuck. I haven't seen this in years. Think it's time to watch it again. That hit me hard.

The different alphabet makes things interesting, but once you've got that down it's not too bad. Vocab is further removed from English so that's inherently harder I guess, but sentence structure is straight-forward and grammar is ok too.
The first third was comfy, but it got way too pretentious later on.
