In Reply to: Once you get beyond the tunnel in Solaris, I think his films are meant to be grey poupon, but why not ask Chekhov... posted by Audiophilander on September 28, 2006 at 23:44:38:
to the near the end sequence in 2001, you know, the psychedelic-color trip.
Tark did it so much more cleverly, efficiently, effectively.
I had to interrupt my yesterday viewing of Solaris but will complete it today.
So far, the memories which I've compartmentalized these past thirty years or so are valid: it's brilliant, disconcerting.
Have you seen Andrei Rublev? Kind of like Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring." Like nothing before.
