It does look nice and it does look better than Criterion’s DVD (and far better than how I remember the RusCiCo DVD from years back) but it could real...
Sticking to their guns and not going the ghastly route RusCiCo did with their DVD (where they gave the film a 5.1 surround track), Criterion delivers a lossless PCM mono track for this Blu-ray. Dialogue is what it is, sounding flat and a little detached from the film through most of it, but music and effects do a little better, coming off a bit mor...
Criterion ports everything over from their 2-disc DVD set, starting with an audio commentary by Tarkovsky scholars Vida Johnson and Graham Petrie, who both authored the 1994 book "The Films of Andrei Tarkovsky: A Visual Figure". It is a very scholarly commentary and it can be a bit dull but it has some good moments. It looks at all aspects of the f...
Criterion’s strong DVD receives an adequate upgrade to Blu-ray. The supplements are still the strongest aspect where the video/audio presentation has areas where it could be better. At the end of the day, despite some strong aspects, the Blu-ray for Solarisis a little bit of a letdown. BUY AT:

Jan 19, 2003 · Solaris. The films of Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky are more like environments than entertainments. It's often said they're too long, but that's missing the point: He uses length and depth to slow us down, to edge us out of the velocity of our lives, to enter a zone of reverie and meditation.
