Solaris(1972 - Russia)

I saw Solaris by Andriei Tarkovsky last night. It is a one-of-a-kind experience. It's hard for me to describe : psychologist Kris Kelvin is sent to a space station and let's say, starts having hallucinations of "guests", basically. It's long(165 minutes) but didn't feel long to me, very slow and thought provoking. Oh if you have a chance to watch it during a thunderstorm and in the dark as I did, take it! This helped in my enjoyment. I can't wait to see it again to see what else I can get out of it. This time I'll watch it with commentaries on. Totally engrossing.
