THE ROOM

What would you ask in the Room where all wishes come true? The Room is located in the Zone. To visit the Zone watch Stalker: A Film by Andrei Tarkovsky (1979).

We were shooting near Tallinn in the area around the small river Piliteh with a half-functioning hydroelectric station. Up the river was a chemical plant and it poured out poisonous liquids downstream. There is even this shot in Stalker: snow falling in the summer and white foam floating down the river. In fact it was some horrible poison. Many women in our crew got allergic reactions on their faces. Tarkovsky died from cancer of the right bronchial tube. And Tolya Solonitsyn too. That it was all connected to the location shooting for Stalker became clear to me when Larissa Tarkovskaya died from the same illness in Paris.

That's one of the few movies that will make me cry even when I am not watching it.
