I didn't mean it was similar to "2001" in plot. There were more
similarities in atmosphere and the way a lot of material was handled -- the
stuff left unspoken or unviewed.
It's the only Tarkovsky film I've seen, but if this is a hint of how good he
is, I should rent every last one of them. (Well, the ones with English
subtitles, that is. I don't, sadly, understanding Russian.)
Anyway, glad to see I'm not the sole fan of this movie on the list.
