Reading Solaris by Stanisław Lem (to prepare for watching the Tarkovsky film!) It’s so good, and so different from The Futurological Congress. Any other Lem fans out there?

I have watched the film. It was a good movie but I have read that the author didn't like the drastic changes done to the original plot. The book sounds more interesting tbh. I'll add it to my reading list.

Have you read Tarkovsky’s “Sculpting in Time”? He talks about his philosophy on the relationship between literature and cinema. I can totally see why an author would be at odds with how he views its differences (which to Tarkovsky are necessary ones)

I have not. I just looked it up, I was expecting it to be an essay but it's a whole book 😅. I understand that it is practically impossible to adapt many works of literature into movies so some changes are needed. I feel like the change was a bit extreme in this case. I can't explain further without spoiling.

Yeah, he has a pretty extreme view on it. He did that with his first film too, “Ivan’s Childhood”, based on a short story.
