Солярис

The film is based on the novel by Stanislaw LEM, "Solaris" (Solaris, 1961).

The scene in which Burton's driving through the endless tunnels and interchanges, filmed in Tokyo.

The episodes were filmed out of order. So it happened that in one shot Chris in a t-shirt, and pajamas. When I have noticed it, but it was too late to reshoot, so he waved his hand: "we Have the same fantasy. Let everyone think that so be it!".

First a book, then the movie itself became the cause of several quarrels writer LEM and directed by Tarkovsky. In particular, the writer claimed that the Director made not "Solaris", and "Crime and punishment".

One time Tarkovsky wanted to take the role of Hari Swedish actress Bibi Andersson. And she even agreed to play "for free". But because of bureaucratic delays did not.

The scene in the mirror room had been filmed, but not included in the final cut, the Director withdrew it from the movie. Now this mysterious step fans of Tarkovsky related to the machinations of censorship. In fact, the censorship and editing that scene didn't care and the motives of the Director were internal. It is known that he objected to in the film that seemed "too beautiful".

The scene with the zero gravity was filmed by two camera cranes, one of which was fixed film camera, and the other was located actors.

In the role of Hari Andrei Tarkovsky originally wanted to remove Alla Demidov, but he is banned because Demidov was in the "black list" due to the fact that in his previous work, the film Yuliya Karasik "Sixth of July" it is, as the press wrote, "beat of Lenin."

In the scene where Chris meets her mother on the chair are Soviet money. For example, ruble jubilee "In honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of V. I. Lenin", 1970 and paper banknote 3 rubles of the sample of 1961.
