Just watching the movie - I agree with you... hence my previous nasty reaction to it. A kaka rating, for sure.But I kept remembering clark's comment that to most people here that film would be their only chance to see the incredibly, unbound beauty of the great place - and alone made the admission worth its price.
No, I don't see Tark and Sokurov on the same plane... idol maybe, so what? Beethoven may by my idol - but what does it say about MY piano concertos?

--No, I don't see Tark and Sokurov on the same plane...... idol maybe, so what?I didn't say they were on the same plane. I said that some Tarkovsky and most Sokurov films suffer from insufficient editing.
Well, that is such a subjective thing - I would not argue about it.Tark's are longish, true, but I have to tell you I enjoyed the slow, deliberate flow of Solaris, every minute of it, and I was sorry when it was over. Stalker is a different matter, there I was totally restless. So perhaps a blanket comment is not the right thing to do.
Sacrifice didn't strike me as too long either. Too homage to the point of bordering on derivative - yes, but long? Not to me.
But I can understand why one might feel that way - they are not average films.
