If you own the Mirror, I wish one day you get into right mood and feel that special emotion that that film can produce. It is a very special film, and I love it.

Solaris should be taken in moderation. It is capable of creating deep experience, but one must get above some of the obvious technical problems in the film... heck, it was not made in Hollywood, and that shows... sometimes good, someties not too good.

But with both films you must get into right mood, else it ain't gonna work. Like right now, as I am thinking of Solaris, I am feeling that sense of submersion enveloping me... so just a bit more, Banionis (one of my all time favorite actors, unknown in the West) on the screen, and I am ready to float. I want to see again that endless fly through the Tokyo tunnel. It is a real trip.

I really don't know why it didn't work for you with the Mirror. Perhaps the subs are not up to snuff? The dialogue is meaningfull, so it is possible it didn't get through. There is also a bit of history one must be aware of, the WWII in Russia time and its unique flavor.

My wife is usually irritated by Tarkovsky, but she would watch the Mirror gladly.

Anyway, I would try it again a bit later.
