I really don't care for you playing those stereotypes cards every time you run out of arguments. You alweays have them on the ready and play them willingly, believing they give you some edge. Well, they just make your argument shallow... be it Outside or here. So call me all you want, if that's all you can say.Having dispensed with that "argument" (and OF COURSE there are culturally-based tastes... but save that for another thread), let me assure you that you have an absolute right to dislike any movie you feel like - and Solaris is no exception.
It is perfectly fine just to say "I don't like it" but you tried to provide a reason, and that reason was completely flawed.
Art and story are not in the least related. Art is not about the subject, it is all about the means. There need not be any "story progress" in the piece for it to be artistic and enjoyable.
What is the "story progress" in any of Chardin's paintings?
Truth is, you can show me a thrity second clip from a film and that can often tell me a lot about whether it is an artwork or a mass-culture crap. I would not need to know about the story to feel that.
For a good example take a look at the Wim Wenders' "Lumière et compagnie" - a perfect vehicle. Each dirtector was given less than a minute to make a statement. How much "story progress" can you have diring that short time? Take a look at that Konchalovsky segment - it is breathtaking... and no story.
Well, you can see all the art in those short pieces.
