Take the slow road to the Room

Three men travel toward a forbidden Zone where a Room is said to grant your deepest wish. Tarkovsky stretches time until it almost stops, and the reward is a kind of seeing that few films ask of you. It is the definitive film about patience, and about wanting. Give it an uninterrupted evening, no phone.
