Review of 'Zona' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
If you love Stalker and you're looking for a way to experience it again in a new way because there seem to be diminishing returns from just watching Stalker over and over again, this might be a good book to read. If you haven't seen Stalker or you're indifferent to it, I don't know what this book might do for you.
It bills itself as "a book about a film about a journey to a room," but most of it is "a book about a guy who writes a book about a film about a journey to a room."
I enjoyed it, except for the author's annoying resort to sloppily-laid-out footnotes in place of asides or meanders, which made for awkward reading and were an especially unharmonious crafting decision given the subject matter.
