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.
I really love sort of classical cinema where people were telling stories with very little dialogue, and people were using the camera in a really interesting way.
With Fever, the film was so made for the screen, and there's so much surround sound that was done for the film - enormous detail paid to that. I wasn't thinking video, because I didn't know how it was going to turn out.
The film, even when we were making it in that budget range, which was really a coup - we got it made because we pitched it to the studio head, Joe Roth.
The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment.
