- canjobear 5y agoI'm curious what you expected...all Tarkovski is like maximum artsy.
- hgs3 5y agoIt was my first Tarkovski film and I wasn't aware of the directors style.
- wellthisisgreat 5y agoTry “Andrei Rublev” it’s (watched all his work) one of his more balanced films, as in its full of symbolism but it’s intertwined with the narration, so one may go through it without noticing then subtext, while it’s probably one of the best (if not the best) films about medieval ages.
- ethbr0 5y agoIf you liked it, watch the Russian Solaris. It's interesting to compare and contrast with 2001.
- maest 5y agoFrom the synopsis, looks like it's based on the Asimov novel.
- agency 5y agoIt’s a Stanisław Lem novel.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoThis is an amazing film. It was a real pleasure comparing it to the Hollywood version and also the book. The Hollywood version is also quite good, but focuses on different things (Kelvins relationship with his ex wife, as I recall) than the Soviet version.
- jasonwatkinspdx 5y agoGlad to see this comment. I like them both for different reasons, and feel the Clooney one gets trashed on unfairly for not being as art house smart. I thought the score and how it sets a mood was particularly well done. Note if anyone is curious and goes looking for the trailer, be warned this is one of those movies where the studio edited the trailer to make it look like something totally different than what it is hoping to boost sales.
