ResumoAndrei Tarkovsky’s film Stalker is often understood as both a cinematic masterpiece and an impenetrable mystery. The source text, Arkady and Boris Strugatsky’s novel, Roadside Picnic, provides clues to interpretation as well as insights into the evolution of motifs from book to screenplay. By subjecting the texts to a critical reading inspired by Alain Badiou’s philosophy of the event – itself considered enigmatic – this article elucidates novel, film, and philosophy, connecting such shared themes as desire, fidelity, militancy, and truth.
