To mark its 75th birthday, the BFI asked 75 lofty figures which one film they would most wish future generations to see. Blade Runner came top of the poll, but the runner-up was a surprise to some. Way ahead of the The Godfather, Pulp Fiction and The Third Man came Andrei Tarkovsky's sci-fi classic, Stalker.
This film's been puzzling cineastes ever since it appeared in 1979. Perhaps it puzzles you. If so, what do you really want to know about it? Not, surely, what the whole mysterious concoction might actually be supposed to mean. What you're almost certainly wondering is why the film's original director of photography had his name left off the credits.
Or if you aren't, I know a man who is. Director Igor Mayboroda worked with the DoP involved, Georgi Rerberg, and considers him one of cinema's towering figures. In 1993, Tarkovsky's diaries were published. In these, the great man justified Rerberg's sacking by accusing him not just of technical and aesthetic inadequacy, but also of a wide range of sordid personal failings.
