“Suddenly, he seemed to be in another world.” #roadsidepicnic #scifimonth

As if November didn't have enough reading events on the go, I discovered at a late stage that it was also Sci Fi Month!! Now, I don't read *huge* amounts of that genre, but I do like classic or offbeat science fiction and I did have several options in the stacks which I could possibly read for this event.

Just what is the ending to Roadside Picnic all about?

This contains spoilers obvs. The End “In Roadside Picnic, the Strugatsky brothers have employed the tactic of preserving the mystery to excellent effect; indeed, as they surpass the canon established by Wells, so, too, they transcend the SF tradition.” - Stanisław Lem One of the strengths of Roadside Picnic is

So, that essay by #StanislawLem about #RoadsidePicnic is really very good.

I'm not sure if I'd see this frame as beautiful without seeing the movie, Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky.

The choice of location was so cool, there's so much mood and visual information, and filmed slowly, I went into a trance😁

I read the short story it was based on, Tarkovsky definitely went his own way with it and created something unique. No special effects or costumes, but still alien. The weirdness of the zone is in the story and in our heads.
