I know most of us have seen it, but if you haven’t (or it’s been a very long time), this is your assignment this weekend. Watching this film with the reverence that it deserves will leave a lasting impression on you.

    Solaris IS difficult, but it gets much easier for those that read Stanislav Lem’s “Solaris” book first. Tarkovsky being, firstly, a photographer, his cinematographic take was to complement the book with astonishing atmosphere and photographic frames while leaving the story and action in the second and third places. It’s harder to digest for the people that look more for action, but I can’t blame them: this is not supposed to be for everyone

      You know I never read the book. I should put that on my list. I feel like Solaris is a movies that you just let wash over you.
