Well, that's why different people like differen things. I am not bothered by the departures - to me the book is usually just the starting point, unless the director intentionally tries to stay close... that is why the term "based on". Sometimes just the very general idea is borrowed.

Zori is a great film, I didn't read the book.

One doesn't have to love Tarkovsky, and I would not mention him among my favorite directors either, but to me his greatness seems fairly well established. And works like Rublev and Mirror are solid justification for that.
