Alex Garland’s new ANNIHILATION is a loose adaptation of a novel, but its premise, themes, and style give it just as strong a connection to Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1979 philosophical science fiction film STALKER. In this half of the pairing, we venture into STALKER’s mysterious Zone on a search for meaning and metaphor within an enigmatic cinematic landscape that’s as beguiling as it is intimidating. Plus, feedback on some recent episodes that were, and episodes that might have been.
Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about STALKER, ANNIHILATION, or both by sending an email to [email protected], or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
Outro music: “Meditation” by Eduard Artemiev
