Last week of July. yoink!

I'll see all of them except Andrei Rublev, which I just saw on the big screen last month when I was abroad but but lost a substantial amount of dialogue in the foreign translation.

Actually, I don't really like Zerkalo all that much, either.

Zerkalo is difficult but probably his "masterpiece" - it's extremely personal and maintains the beuaty and intensity of his other works, though the timeline is confusing and to non-russians (like myself) i had to read a bit about the context to fully appreciate it.

why is Stalker one of my favorite films? i guess it's because it works for me as a haunting, mystical science-fiction story, and it also works on a philosophical level. even if you don't dig the philosophy, the aesthetics alone are stunning - i love the idea of a 'Zone' and this future where everything is broken and destroyed, and physical transformations occur, spatial geometry is twisted, etc. the novel it's based on, 'roadside picnic', is a lot different - more down to earth and gritty, but still very fun.
