 | Solaris - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $31.49 / Used from: $21.79 The original - see it, and then see the remake (with george clooney, it's actually quite well done...)
But this film is, like all other tarkovsky films, ahead of its time in creativity, profundity, and courage.
A must see for all old world sci-fi buffs.
Don't be put off by the length or the subtitles, it will be worth it in the final frames of the film.
