"The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element."

People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say, mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddled together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It's a new kind of togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it's the togetherness of modern technology.
