Solaris is like that 6'x10' canvis with the yellow dot ...

... and you were behaving somewhat like that nice lady in the museum from Dusseldorf. My comment about the film being DULL was no "sillier" than you saying that Solaris is "riveting." Paintings, like cinematic artworks, tell stories, but as you pointed out so succinctly in the linked post. To wit, ...

>>> "No matter what the history behind the work, I tend to draw the line someplace." <<<

Still, the short paragraph which preceeded it is even more to the point since we're discussing cinema as art:

>>> "The big question here is just what determines what is 'substantial'. It is hard to argue that the fashion is often more important than the artistic merit, and that some works that one finds in many modern art galleries SHOULD be questioned." <<<

Substitute the word "films" for "works" and drop "that one finds in many modern art galleries" and your general statement on film appreciation would concur completely with my critique of Solaris.

Respectfully,
