What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on Stanislaw Lem's novel "Solaris" (1961).
  • The scene where Burton drives through endless tunnels and interchanges was filmed in Tokyo.
  • The film's scenes were not shot in order. That's why Chris is wearing a t-shirt in one shot and pajamas in the next. Tarkovsky noticed this, but it was too late to reshoot, so he waved it off: "It's science fiction, after all. Let everyone think that's how it should be!"
  • Both the book and the film itself became the cause of several arguments between writer Lem and director Tarkovsky. In particular, the writer claimed that the director had filmed not "Solaris" at all, but "Crime and Punishment."
  • At one point, Tarkovsky wanted to cast Swedish actress Bibi Andersson as Hari. She even agreed to appear for free, but bureaucratic delays prevented it.
  • The scene in the mirrored room was filmed but did not make the final cut; the director removed it from the film. Now, fans of Tarkovsky attribute this mysterious decision to the machinations of censorship. In reality, censorship and editing were not the concern with this scene, and the director’s motives were internal. It is known that he repeatedly objected to elements in films that seemed to him “too beautiful.”
  • The weightlessness scene was filmed using two camera cranes, one of which held the camera and the other held the actors.
  • For the role of Hari, Andrei Tarkovsky wanted to cast Alla Demidova, but he was forbidden from doing so because Demidova was on a “blacklist” due to her having, according to the press, “overplayed Lenin” in her previous work, Yuli Karasik’s film *The Sixth of July*.
  • In the scene where Chris meets his mother, Soviet money is lying on the chair. For example, a commemorative ruble “In Honor of the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of V.I. Lenin” from 1970 and a 3-ruble paper banknote from 1961.
  • When Chris views a message from Dr. Gibarian, the filming crew is reflected in the monitor.
  • The film is based on Stanislaw Lem’s novel “Solaris” (1961).
  • The scenes of the film were not shot in order. Therefore, it turned out that Chris is wearing a t-shirt in one shot and pajamas in the next. Tarkovsky noticed this, but it was too late to reshoot, so he waved it off: “It’s science fiction, after all. Let everyone think that’s how it should be!”
  • Andrei Tarkovsky wanted to cast Alla Demidova in the role of Hari, but he was forbidden to do so, as Demidova was on “blacklists” because, in her previous work, Yuli Karasik’s film “The Sixth of July,” she had, as the press wrote, “overplayed Lenin.”
