Haven’t seen either of Solaris, but the big deal here is that the US version loses a lot of Tarkovsky’s specific, drawn out and contemplative styling in favor of a more active and dynamic version for the US.
Andrei Rublev and Mirror are standouts, to my knowledge, and are generally seen as better than Solaris but not quite as great as Stalker.
