Russian master Andrei Tarkovsky followed his Sci-Fi masterpiece "Solaris" with another Sci-Fi that's less accessible but rewarding for the patient ones who want to be challenged intellectually. Set in a bleak future, three men set out to reach "the Zone," a mythical place where wishes come true. The three men represent faith, art and science discuss human nature and its follies that's the root to their condition including the destruction of nature. Tarkovsky paints a bleak portrait of humankind in this visionary film with still relevant and timeless themes that adds to his genius. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
