I always have this problem when watching a movie based on a book - for me the original has to be as untouched as possible.
This is why I love "Dawns are quiet here" (my pathetic translation of "A zori zdes' tikhiye") and why I hate all american versions of "Three Musqueteers".
For me the problem with AT is how freely he treats the book his film is based on. If I did not care for that particular book I would probably think different of AT.
But then again - even his non-literature-based movies are too far from my understanding and my style in movies.
Follow Ups:
Well, that's why different people like differen things. I am not bothered by the departures - to me the book is usually just the starting point, unless the director intentionally tries to stay close... that is why the term "based on". Sometimes just the very general idea is borrowed.Zori is a great film, I didn't read the book.
One doesn't have to love Tarkovsky, and I would not mention him among my favorite directors either, but to me his greatness seems fairly well established. And works like Rublev and Mirror are solid justification for that.
