Humanity and sentient planet try to establish some sort of communication but it's ultimately impossible. Existential despair, madness and misplaced grief happens, because Russians.

It's been twelve years or so since having seen it, I think it's something about being thrown into a future that is imperfect, and being haunted by the past at the same time?
>>67996680
Quite wrong.
It's the remake worth watching?
Stalker...in space...

Then do tell. The character was isolated in space and his wife was haunting him, so I don't see how that wouldn't fit with the general overview.

That wasn't his wife.
It was the planet mind-fucking him.
He wasn't thrown into the scenario either, he debated it, and then decided to leave paradise. Eventually he succumbs to a recreation of that paradise after he can't handle the fact that he gave up a good thing in the search for prestige.I actually have a sneaking suspicion, the whole thing was influenced by the mad-scientist doctor with the midget, but it's been about a year or two, so I don't recall the specifics and I don't want to out myself as a full retard.

Did he have a wife originally?
Because I read the wife as either an interior or exterior projection, and the film wonderfully sifts through the possibilities of either interpretation.

thanks for this

Yeah, he did, I think she had either died, or left him then died (all prior to him leaving for the space station). The planet was probing his mid and used her as an avatar to communicate, but it could never get it right which was why Kris was freaking out all the time.

It's The Shining in space
>>67996834
yes, but it's not as good
The space station is a purgatory for atheist scientist.

Where should I start with Tarkovsky?
I've got most of his filmography sitting here.
>>67996834
It's interesting.
While it doesn't look as good, it looks really pretty.

Chrono.
Andrei Rublev is a cool exploration of the Seven Cardinal Vices and final acceptance of faith.
Something something about how we can never truly know someone , because we are always interacting with them through our own perceptions of what they are like

>Chrono
fucking hell, I thought that was a movie. I need a coffee.
Sweet, that's what I normally do.

Stalker is what everyone usually begin
