- twice I've accidentally flipped to TV onto subtitled Russian movies partway through, gotten fascinated by the film, only to later find that it was by Tartovsky (Andrei Rublyov, Ivan's Childhood). I also strongly reccomend Solaris and especially Stalker.

I picked up Solaris a number of years ago at Tower Records where it was on sale for something like $5. Definitely worthwhile. I have never seen "Stalker" though I suppose now I will have to make the effort to do so.

Tartovsky's not for everyone though. Things happen slowly. Tartovsky's films make '2001' seem like 'Raders of the lost ark'.

Yea, it took me a while to get into it, but once I did the movie is almost mesmerizing. Jim Windle Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com
