Andrei Tarkovsky's psychological sci-fi masterpiece Solaris comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The Russian soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Tarkovsky experts Vida Johnson and Graham Petrie, deleted and alternate scenes, interviews with various people involved with the production, essays on Solaris (including one from Akira Kurosawa), and information on Stanislaw Lem, whose work forms the basis of the movie. This is an outstanding release from Criterion, who continue to be one of the most respected names in home video.
