Made in the Soviet era. No popcorn movie, and in fact quite existentialistic, some may even say: depressing, at least disillusioning. Highly recommended.

I also recommend the movie "Solaris" by the same director. It was redone by Soderbergh and Clooney some years ago, but while being a good movie taken for itself, the redone film lacks the complexity and philosophical depth of the original. Watch the Tarkovski orginal. It is the better one. I also do not forgive Soderbergh that he turned the somewhat pessimistic ending of Tarkovski's original into a somewhat candy-sweet, typical Hollywood happy ending.

I will give that a go as well, the original that is, i cannot stomach G Clooney , in any film for that matter.
