![]() ![]() ![]() Based on a sci-fi novel, the film extends far beyond the limits of this genre, and its artistic discoveries are not fully explained by the specificities of the parable genre, as the film was defined by critics. Although the Strugatsky brothers were the authors of the script, the film Stalker (which was actually shot twice because the first version was destroyed owing to a technological failure) was much different from the novel Roadside Picnic in regard to plot, character names, location, and many other features therefore, the final film version of the script was also the work of Tarkovsky. We aim to explore the unique ways in which Tarkovsky's artistic vision through the adaptation from literary work to film changes the framework and main features of the science fiction (sci-fi) genre. In this article, we compare the short novel Roadside Picnic (Piknik na obochine) by the Strugatsky brothers with different versions of scripts written by these novelists for the film Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky. ![]()
