In Reply to: Watched Tarkovsky's Solaris last night. posted by sjb on March 5, 2007 at 08:10:24:
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.
Follow Ups:
It's always a tough thing to impose meaning on something abstract like the tunnel sequence... for all any of use know - though I doubt it - Tarkovsky just thought it looked and felt cool.All that really matters in such a case, or in viewing a painting or reading a poem, is how it makes a person feel.
I'm impressed by the fact that what few techno elements existed were all in support of the human part.
The movie is really with me... that human-ness... what an achievment.
Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
We of course don't know what was in the director head as he made that sequence, but your interpretation is thought provoking.
