At a time of fierce competition on every level between the US and the USSR, Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" comes out in 1968 to show the Russians, and the world, how space movies (science fiction with deeper messages about human evolution, existentialism, technology, artificial intelligence and the possibility of extra terrestrial life) are made...The Soviets respond with this film "Solaris" in 1972 dismissing Kubrick's work (which has in fact been called the finest science fiction film EVER) as "phoney on many points" and "a lifeless schema with only pretensions to truth". Soviet director Andrei Tarkovsky is given this task, who, in the spirit of healthy competition, and as a consequence of it, comes up with an equally authentic, controversial but undisputed masterpiece and a proud addition to the list of the greatest movies ever made, with universal appeal and most talked about and thought provoking films in history to boot...Thanks for another terrific upload.

Of all the films I've ever seen, none has come closer to revealing the importance of life on this earth and our relationship to the superior mind of existence! NO others work comes even close to unraveling our mysterious relationship to the cosmos. Time stands still: harken!, we are in the midst of a genius, telling us about relationships between people, past, present, and future! A devotion to our fathers, mistakes of expression, our own mistakes, and readdressing what might have been. A whole existence of our past and readdressing possibilities to correct our own mistakes, even forgiveness, for not always reading right! My favorite film, I can't acknowledge enough.

I think without doubt its the most intelligent and deepest thinking sci-fi film of all time. I rate this along with 2001 masterpieces of cinema and unlike Solaris the original version of the story shall never be bettered (ok technically Solaris has been done 3 times as there was an earlier version before Tarkovsky did this one) I love how it takes an alien lifeform, a sentient ocean that can probe our minds in order to communicate with us by looking to our pasts. Wether you accept it or not see it as pleasure or pain is another thing that only individuals can answer. Still a fascinating concept and this version is well shot with beautiful photography with images that never leave your brain and great performances all round. This shows that Russia could turn out quality cinema and its a pity its not better known that it is in the world of sci-fi cinema. Stanislaw Lem never liked any of the versions of his novel but thats authors for you, for me that only one view the public decides otherwise what resonates with them and rightly so.

Some might say it does need some whittling down, especially the scene of Burton driving on the Tokyo expressway. But the more I watch that, the whole scene, without fast-forwarding it or skipping ahead, the more sense it makes. Burton's anxiety, his sense of futility that he failed, are made clear. I lived in Tokyo at the time that scene was filmed and I remember my dad, who was driving, laughed at how short the expressway was. It only took about the same time to run it as the whole movie scene. Since then Tokyo has extended their highway system and some years later I drove a good ways out of Tokyo to Mt. Fuji on it.

Second viewing for me. I needed all the subtitles to fill so many gaps. One of my favorite films of all time. I still need to explain to myself what exactly it means. What a performance by Natalya Bondarchuk!

[@henrybrowne7248]

Update. I'm reading Lem's book! The guy who played Snow evidently did a good job too. The book is just fantastic and it's filling in my gaps. I suspect Lem had scientific training; I'll guess . . biology. What an imagination Lem had. Btw, I betcha this was inspired by the work of French zoologist/philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.

I was young and working for a Russian guy that used to own a couple of movie theaters, Artkino Pictures, was the name of his company and Cosmos 70 the name of one of the theaters. I used to do the inventory of the movies in a basement, I remember this movie in particular because of the promo posters and pictures and I used to take reels of film and took this movie's reel as well in 35 mm from one movie theater to the other one, back in the 70's 🎥...

This film, like the book, is very Lovecraftian. Much better than the other Solaris film. Solaris, is a scientific mystery and thriller, a psychological mystery and thriller and a thriller about first contact. This film is very much closer to the book. Well done!

I have only watched the Clooney version and found the premise very intriguing. It is a story-driven play, not needing fantastic cgi/special effects to be compelling.

Some twenty years ago a friend told me Solaris was his favorite sci-fi movie and now when we are on the brink of a new era I finally watched this film. I have trained myself to look for simulareties and parallels with the current agenda's of the current power mongering ruling classes when I watch a sci fi movie. But Solaris is a league of its own. Great movie.

This man, was King of Greece. It's a parody. He is the father of the future president of the world, UNOM, Niklaus. He's living in England. This movie it's a revelation. Tarkovsky works real hard in this project, trying to exposed this man. It's not just another feary tale.

My favourite Tarkovsky film. Excellently achieved. Read several Lem books back when Britain still imported and translated books from places other than Japan or Scandinavia. Often wondered whether the plot was about people on the inside looking out a greater world / universe and barely beginning to understand before being changed and perhaps destroyed by something unknowable outside their experience. Like being inside one political structure that governs everything, but not what is outside itself. Such as reality, people and their deepest needs.

[@MegaSteve1957]

I watched this after losing my wife to cancer & had moved on to another relationship, which made the experience extremely harrowing for me, as in imagining myself how I would react in those circumstances. Brilliant anyhow & as in his Mirror & Lars von Trier's Melancholia, Breughal's Hunters in the Snow was an extra.

One of the few movies in human history which is simply perfect. A timeless work of art. Another one would be 2001: A Space Odyssey.

[@ryokan9120]

I definitely agree with you. But, apparently, Tarkovsky loathed 2001: A Space Odyssey, which I find very surprising given the fact that both directors were superb artists of the highest caliber.

[@dondragmer2412]

@@ryokan9120 I disagree with Tarkovsky on his opinion of 200: ASO. He said he didn't see the humanity in it. Too much was given over to technology. But that was necessary to establish the setting of the story. Nor do I think humanity is missing from it. The characters, especially Floyd, his daughter, the Russians, observers who accompany him to the Monolith, and most of all Bowman, show a lot of human feeling, or they fight against it at appropriate times given their situations.

[@ryokan9120]
