We've become so hypnotized and hyped up by spandex-clad super-heroes with bad acting and snappy, pretentious dialogues that we've forgotten what real film and art is like.
Maybe overworked and tired population needs spandex instead of Tarkovsky’s movies. After 1,5 hours commuting and 9,5 hours in the office I prefer Netflix’ Red Notice over Stalker. And I guess I am not the only one. On the other hand as non native Polish speaker I will enjoy some evening with some great movie recommended in this thread.
I can appreciate that point of view. It's really a matter of what you're receptive to at any given moment.
Keep in mind, however, that Tarkovsky and other innovative filmmakers from the Iron Curtain era literally risked their career every time they made a film. They had something to say and took great pains to do it. It just goes to show that there's really no excuse for the film industry to release so much slop when they got unimaginable resources at their disposal.
