This aside from the fact that the subject of Solaris at it's base is not about contact problems/interactions with alien thought processes...at least not external ones.
Also, one will never really 'get' Solaris if one divorces it from or loses awareness of the Zeitgeist of the nation/times/culture that created it.
BTW, many of the (unnamed) films you mention that followed Solaris borrowed heavily and/or were inspired by it.
