Stalker ... effort of a plot!
Plot Stalker (Andrei Tarkowski)
Three Individualls in a inner riot with a system. A Professor, a Writer and a Stalker are on to find them selves together, making a trip into the forbidden zone. This zone is guarded by the police of the system. Tarkowski draws a surreal place in which the observer is leaded through a raw industrial place, inlayed with worn goods and all over ruined by the past … the whole film Tarkowski is switching from from black&white, to coloured or sepia toned pictures. This pictures are all set in high contrast which gives the movement and camera work very strong expression. This expression made the film a kind of statement itself only by the way it is made. It is like switching trough mind, memories and time. It elevates through different “layers” by cuts …
The storyline seems to be very cloudy and generates a lingering interest by the viewer, also through the creeping, often silent and powerful way it is made. The viewer often feels left by his own in the film, but in a good way, it seems so plain and simple and on the other hand so puzzling like our lifes. For me the three protagonists are one and the same person, build as a metapher for the envolving process of the inner and outer connection between man and it’s environment. The Will to punch things through and the instinktiv knowledge of the Stalker that seems to be useful to find the happiness for conscious and unconscious desires. The zone seems to be a place in which not even an overall dominating system can be break in and is build like the autonomy of mind. System fears the autonomic parts of minds, the Zone in this case, and separates them to control the sedated parts. It could be about systems controlling systems in a chaos …
