Reviewer notes

**Metaphysical themes explored in Stalker** The three main characters are Archetypes: Writer, Professor (scientist) and Stalker (seeker).

This movie is like an onion, has multiple layers. To understand it, you have to be very careful and pacient. You have to focus on movie and not doing anything else while you watch it, because if you don't, you won't understand it. http://cinematol.ro/pareri-filme-stalker-calauza-1979/
