Stalker
Andrei Tarkovsky 1979 USSR (2nd time)
A mysterious man named Stalker leads two men, Writer and Professor, beyond an industrial city into the Zone, where they search to find the Room, wherein desires come true.
Fascinating examination of the human condition on its darkest levels; it gently tears away the layers of abstraction with which we mask ourselves to reveal our inner truth, exposing the heart of darkness with poetic ferocity. It is, with its stunning visuals, nightmarish sounds, and methodic pace, an atmospheric, fantastical, philosophical masterpiece.

Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie)
Luis Buñuel 1972 France/Italy/Spain (1st time)
Three bourgeois couples attempt to dine together, and keep getting set back by interruptions.
Buñuel's surreal masterpiece is a series of episodes building to a finale which is, due to the Chinese box narrative before it, neither reality nor fantasy. In this sense, one dream follows the other so as to become a running reality that these characters are living masked from truth: indeed, they are blind to their own prejudices, and choose not to acknowledge the adulterous affairs going on between them.
