Solaris (novel)/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Creator Backlash: Although Stanisław Lem worked with Tarkovsky in developing the screenplay, Lem maintained that he "never really liked Tarkovsky’s version" of his novel, going as far as to saying that Tarkovsky made Crime and Punishment rather than Solaris.
  • Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: When Lem started the book describing Kelvin arriving to the station, he had no idea what's this book going to be about and had no plan whatsoever.
