Perfect in Weakness

Arts & Literature

“Heber-Percy’s illuminating scholarship, boundary-dissolving methodology, and academic poetics deliver a fascinating journey into the soul of Tarkovsky’s Stalker. Perfect in Weakness not only challenges and enriches our understanding of this mesmerizing cinematic achievement, it provides a unique appreciation of the nature of conversion and the life religious. For Heber-Percy the film is a heartfelt hymn whose meaning is in the conversation it provokes. This book is a provocative, fecund, and moving contribution to that conversation, and to that meaning.”
