Russian Cinema (Фильмs в Россия) Соларис и Russian Ark

[ugly-boy.livejournal.com]

I don't know where else to post Russian culture questions… If they are inapproriate, I'll stop. Also, if anyone knows of a better place to post them (on LJ) that would be greatly appreciated. On with my question:

I've heard that the George Clooney movie Solaris was based on a Russian film with the same name—Соларис?—and I'm looking for information about the movie. When was it made? Who are some of the stars? Did it get good reviews? If anyone here has seen it, what did you think?

Also, has anyone seen Russian Ark?

One last question: what's the plural of Фильм?

Basically I just want to know whether it's good or not. I've heard good and bad things about it.

I think the best way is to see this movie :) And I completely agree with ninaczarina, I can not describe this movie better... even in Russian ;)
