And I'm more in the Takovsky camp... I just saw his Solaris (almost 3 
hours...) plus the Criterion commentary, [Then took a look at the 
Soderburg remake, and its commentary...] Saw Andre Rublev earlier 
this year. And now I want to go back and see Mirror again, his most 
personal and dreamlike.

He is a master!

I did see K's color trio, and will look for Heaven. Thanks for that tip, Glenn.
