😆 I have spent a metric shittonne of time thinking about Stalker and Mirror lately due to re-reading Roadside Picnic for a book club.
Stalker is a ridiculous achievement. It somehow manages to capture and amplify the kernel of emotion at the heart of the book it's based on while stripping out a huge proportion of the incident and physical landscape.
I must admit I find watching his longer works a bit challenging at times. Need to clear my headspace and ensure the net's nowhere nearby to sustain attention for 3 or 4 hours.
Anyway, this is the Gonzalo Higuaín thread I guess.
