Abstract Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Stalker is often understood as both a cinematic masterpiece and an impenetrable mystery. The source text, Arkady and Boris Strugatsky’s novel, Roadside Picnic, provides clues to interpretation as well as insights into the evolution of motifs from book to screenplay. By subjecting the texts to a critical reading inspired by Alain Badiou’s philosophy of the event – itself considered enigmatic – this article elucidates novel, film, and philosophy, connecting such shared themes as desire, fidelity, militancy, and truth.

摘要 安德烈·塔可夫斯基 (Andrei Tarkovsky) 的电影《潜行者》(Stalker) 经常被理解为电影杰作和难以理解的谜团。源文本是阿尔卡季和鲍里斯·斯特鲁加茨基的小说《路边野餐》，提供了解释的线索以及对从书到剧本的主题演变的洞察。通过对文本进行批判性阅读，其灵感来自阿兰·巴迪欧的事件哲学——本身被认为是神秘的——这篇文章阐明了小说、电影和哲学，将欲望、忠诚、好战和真理等共同主题联系起来。
