2 films — slow-burn, dark, harrowing, complex, quiet
Near a gray and unnamed city is the Zone, a place guarded by barbed wire and soldiers, and where the normal laws of physics are victim to frequent anomalies. A stalker guides two men into the Zone, specifically to an area in which deep-seated desires are granted.
Dir. Andrei Tarkovsky · With Alisa Freyndlikh, Aleksandr Kaydanovskiy, Anatoliy Solonitsyn
In a desolate world following the nuclear apocalypse, a scholar helps a small group of adults and children survive in the basement of a former museum of history. In his mind, he writes letters to his only son that will never be read and tries to find shreds of hope in his new reality.
Dir. Konstantin Lopushansky · With Rolan Bykov, Iosif Ryklin, Aleksandr Sabinin
