In Reply to: An appreciation of Solaris posted by clarkjohnsen on December 08, 2002 at 09:33:04:
Interesting... except for one bit that concerned me more about the writer than the film. He mentioned - and with some degree of appreciation to boot - the fact that the new one is one hour shorter than the 1972 model.Is this simply the tribute to our Readers Digest society?
Let's face it, in minds of those who hate the Tarkovsky's work its length is just an excuse, as they would have hated it if it was 30 minutes long.
On the other hands, for those who love and appreciate it it never appeared too long.
So this argument seems completely out of place to me.
Follow Ups:
You mean Tarkovsky's "The Tunnel." ;^)
I too had that impression of the tunnel when I first saw it... in 1972... get it? get it?
What else would one be inclined to do in a darkened Russian movie theater during the painfully slow pacing of that film?! :o)
...and without Tarkovsky's help.But point well taken - :-)))
Nor love nor hate, only holy boredom...But that was long time ago, in Cannes...I will give in another try... Thought a day when I will have no sign of old age tiredness.....
