What Are The Extra Features on "Solaris" import?
 

I understand the "Solaris" import is a two-disc set, but the site I found it at doesn't give much in the way of details. I went to another site and all the details were in Russian. Can anyone tell me what the extras are on this edition?

According to the site of Ruscico, the company who produce the disk ( www.ruscico.com ) :
Pictures and filmographies of the film’s authors; Candids from the shooting ground; The biographies of A. Tarkovsky and S. Lem; An episode from a film, a screen adaptation of S. Lem’s “Inquiry of pilot Pirks”; A documentary about D. Banionis “A craftsman from a little town”; An interview with the leading actress N. Bondarchuk; Reminiscences of A. Tarkovsky’s sister; Teasers of the films coming next.

However, it is a two disk set because the movie (169 mins) is spread across two disks - standard Ruscico practice, their edition of Klimov's Come and See , which is distributed by Kino in the US, does the same thing.

Ruscico's extras are often unusual and quirky and unlike extras on other peoples disks

interesting...wonder how the japanese release managed to fit it all onto one disc including extras, etc....?

This movie has an intermission so the split is very natural ... very nice set. I'm glad to have it. I'm looking forward to obtaining some other RusCiCo discs ...
