Re: Watched Tarkovsky's Solaris last night.

Very nice review, Steve, thank you! Brought back the memories.

Liked your tunnel paragraph... don't know if I agree, having not seen the film in several years, but sounds like an interesting take.

Profoundly human is right. Tarkovsky pulled THAT out of the novel, while someone else of a lesser talent and more limited vision, would have latched on the techno side of the story.

Also from my teenage memories... I think the Solaris is Lem's most human novel. His other works, like the Invincible (English translation?), are heavily techno-freak delights.
