The Unhappy Art.
Andrei Tarkovsky on the cinema:
His Solaris, the second one (there’s been three adaptations), based on the novel by Stanislaw Lem, is very interesting, though I won’t lie, I prefer the Steven Soderbergh remake starring George Clooney. You download and read Arkady and Boris Strugatsky’s Roadside Picnic, the novel that Tarkovsky’s classic film Stalker is based on here. Someday they’ll put out a decent release of Stalker and I’ll be very, very happy.
