Ugly Swans
A movie by a former assistent of Tarkovsky. Just like Stalker it's based on a novel by brothers Strukazki, and just like Stalker it is very artsy and atmospheric. Some of the dialogue did seem clumsy to me, but overall I enjoyed the movie, and consider it to be the second best adaptation of the works of Strugazki. Basically it tells a story about a town, which is being overtaken by a force that is transforming people and particulary children into some new form of being, intelligent, seeking change, judging.
