Never heard of Bela Tarr, but I will do some research on him.
Stalker is worthwhile in some ways, but I didn't like it nearly as much as Solaris.
What is its main message? Mission not accomplished!
And where are the sympathetic characters? Stalker? The Scientist? Perhaps the writer? There is a change in them after their ordeal, but how do we really feel about them? Do we admire them? Do we pity them? The long suffering wife of the Stalker, is she to be admired or pitied or both?. The Stalker's child is perhaps the only one with a future. Can we relate to that?
