Alex, I was under impression that you were at least ten years younger than I... is that so?If that is so, then it sounds like you were able to develop a strong and clear taste for Tarkovsky at the age of 10 or so. And then, when you were just 12, Solaris came and crashed you?
Where am I wrong?
As far as Tarkovsky destroying Strugatsky... I never liked their books. Read them many times, but never got impressed.
I guess all these things are quite personal.
I loved Lem, and I do love Tarkovsky's Solaris perhaps even more. They are loosely related, like most movies and their literary origins, and that is fine with me, as I can perfectly see each one of them on their own merits.
