Waiting...

Like 'Stalker', which I rented in May, the original (Tarkovsky) version of 'Solaris' is distributed on two DVDs.  I don't mean that it's a 2-DVD set, with the film on one and extras on the other; the film itself is split over two DVDs *.

That's okay if one is buying the complete package, but when renting on a 'per disc' basis, and Amazon DVD Rental reports despatching Disc Two with Disc One to follow at an unspecified date, that's not so good.

*: It's 'only' 159 minutes long, so I don't really see the need to divide the film.
