I've already ordered the upcoming (21st January) region 2 DVD of Solaris (and Andrei Rublev). I'm looking forward to an increase in picture and sound quality over the old VHS tape copy I have been watching for the last 10 years.

You will love it, we did. The one I had was definitely better than tape, but still not the best possible quality, so let us know how your turns out. I still warming up my wife to another viewing of Rublev - she still refuses after the strongest impression at its first release in Russia... man, that was so long ago! Back then it was a true bombshell. Sounds like time to buy. Are you getting the Criterion one?
Artificial Eye are releasing the two Tarkovsky films in the UK. They will apparently be anamorphic transfers in the PAL system for region 2, and spread over two disks. I've never actually bought a Criterion release (they are very rare and expensive over here) but I believe that they are usually non-anamorphic NTSC, and region 0. Solaris and Andrei Rublev are rumoured to be both based on recently released Russian versions, but I have not found any confirmation of this.
