Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.26MB
Overview: Three men go on a risky journey through a forbidden zone in search of fulfillment. They fail. They come home. The end. The plot of Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker is a joke. Taking its title from 2 Corinthians, Perfect in Weakness explores Stalker as a ludic parable. And the subject of this parable is faith. Faith as folly, faith as a dangerous, last-ditch attempt to attain the unattainable. To fail, to fail again and to carry on regardless. Stalker is about crossing borders, boundaries, conventions. To transgress, to disrupt, to deconstruct is the dark impulse behind Tarkovsky’s personal vision. It is also the illicit, revolutionary message at the heart of the gospel: tear down this temple and have faith. Like one of Gilles Deleuze’s rhizomes or David Tracy’s fragments, Perfect in Weakness: Faith in Tarkovsky’s Stalker aims to throw out thoughts, ideas and connections in unexpected and even unintended directions, drawing new and unlikely texts into the field of film theology. Perfect in Weakness suggests we see cinema itself as the ultimate apocalyptic art form, letting light into the darkness and then throwing it on a screen.
