There's a copy on video now for US$19.50 or so. Ebay: it comes up from time to time. I would dub you off a copy from laser disc but I just looked at it and it's in Russian with Japanese subtitles. If you're lucky, there's a wide screen version.
Tarkovsky's "The Stalker" is even better IMHO. Lot's of cinematic tricks done with time, color and movement that I've never seen another Director even attempt. Really clever and atmospheric.
Science fiction as far removed from the "Star Wars" genre as you could ever get.
