O jeez. I just did the same thing and I do feel the same way. Still trying to find all the right words. I have seen Stalker many times but it still did not prepare me for seeing it so large and crisp. The theatre was SILENT as everyone left. People walking like zombies hahaha
I was so high on ganja food, as I exited into San Francisco streets I felt like I was wandering in a dream. I tried to explain in vein to people around me that the daughter represents hope...no one likes ramblings from a high man after a 3 hour subtitled movie.
10/10 . Would maybe do again .

It's the near future in Los Angeles, and climate change keeps temperatures soaring, and water is as scarce as oil. Crime is so rampant that authorities only bother punishing cases of extreme violence, and even the city's last remaining good cop isn't immune from the chaos. Arthur Bailey's only hope for survival is to join dangerous femme fatale Grace on a twisted cross-country death race. The race's host is a vaudevillian nightmare, the drivers are homicidal deviants, and the last participant to arrive at each checkpoint has his or her head explode. Even the cars aren't typical gas-powered machines, as they run on human blood. When Bailey goes missing to take part in the race, his partner, Chris, leads an investigation to figure out what happened to him, and it quickly turns into the most deranged case of Chris' career.

I like Tarkovsky I've been watching all his films. "Solaris" is another great,
with some very good scenes you never forget.

Likewise, I'd give anything to see it in a theater.
