review 1: Curioso libro, el autor nos cuenta la película Stalker, de Tarkovski, plano a plano.Pese a lo que pueda parecer no es solo eso, entre descripción y descripción de lo que podemos ver en la pantalla, Dyer nos cuenta sus impresiones sobre la película, su mas que rendida admiración por ella y por la obra de Tarkovski en general. Todo ello sazonado de un montón de anécdotas de rodaje, sobre la vida del director ruso y sobre el cine y la cultura en general. Narrado de una forma amena, con un estilo irónico que me ha gustado bastante. Leeré sin duda más libros de este autor.
review 2: I am a big fan of Stalker myself so to see a praise laden, supposedly intellectually stimulating essay on it looked very promising.Dyer's words are flowing and effortless. For
... more those remotely interested in the movie, this is an engrossing read. His running commentary tends to get a bit superflous, but all around it is rewarding. The bit about middle-aged mens' remorse on never having experienced a threesome led to a minor disagreement between me and my girldfriend. Nevermind. less

Proof that you don't need to be interested in the topic of a book to be absorbed by its writing.

Tarkovsky is certainly as spectacular as Geoff Dyer is irritating.

Prefer the Dog cover of the Text imprint.
