You know, I might have had a similar reaction to Tree of life. But I thought the extended versions of The New World and Days of Heaven shared the same relationship between aesthetic and mood vs. narrative that I see in Stalker. You do not, however, get any Tarkovskysque monologues on metaphysics from Richard Gere or Colin Ferrell.
