Why Andrei Tarkovsky Calls Solaris an Artistic Failure
In 1972, one of the greatest science fiction directors released a movie that would become critically acclaimed but disliked by the filmmaker himself.
In 1968, 2001: A Space Odyssey was released in theaters. Directed by American film director Stanley Kubrick, the film was not only an epic science fiction journey full of futuristic detail but also dominated the box office, leading to various awards, including the best story, cinematography, soundtrack, and so forth. But soon, another name in the filmmaking world (on the other side of the globe) turned this much-beloved movie onto its head, citing that it was cold, sterile, and focused too much on a fancy kind of futurism.
