Hi Shamil

Solaris pops up now and then on a TV channel or festival but until now I've been out of luck to attend. One day I will succeed, I hope, or find a DVD copy.

Hi Gustav --

That Hamlet movie is great thanks to direction of  Grigori Kozintsev (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Kozintsev) and star play of Innokenty Smoktunovsky  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innokenty_Smoktunovsky) and other actors,
If you liked it you can also try to get and watch King Lear ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Lear_(1971_USSR_film)) and maybe even  Don Quixote (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quixote_(1957_film)).

Have you seen Solaris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(1972_film)) by Andrei  Tarkovsky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Tarkovsky)?

Thank you.

> P.S. From my childhood Hans-Christian Andersen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen) your Hans full namesake got somehow associated in my braincells with Sweden not with Denmark. I have been to Denmark, Copenhagen, and I have seen the monument to Hans-Christian Andersen there still I didn't get wrong link to Sweden destroyed :)
> And Denmark was always associated for me with Hamlet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet), from my very early childhood  ages- we all study "Hamlet" here in kindergarten you know :) - just kidding but AFAIKR I first watched this film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet_(1964_film)) when a kid - since that time Denmark and Hamlet are tightly linked for me: when in Denmark I have been to Elsinore, everything was there as I have got it in my very early age from the Soviet movie...
