Description: In this video-essay, I discuss the ecocritical rhetoric in Andrey Tarkovsky's _Stalker_: I interrogate the Strugatsky brothers' _The Roadside Picnic_ (that served as the basis for the film), as well as Tarkovsky's artistic credo, and the realities of nature and environment in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s.
