I just recently watched the Russian 1972 Sci-Fi movie [i]Solaris[/i] after making a goal of watching all of Andrei Tarkovsky’s movies. The movie follows a psychiatrist’s trip to a space station orbiting a planet called Solaris. Strange phenomenon have been happening on the ship, and his mission is to investigate the situation. The plot does not adequately follow the novel’s storyline, but I enjoyed the philosophical discussions about the themes of life, death, and love. There was also, of course, penitent suspense in the mix as with all Tarkovsky films. I haven’t seen the George Clooney [i]Solaris[/i], but I kind of bet it’s not as thoughtful, so if you have an want a more contemplative work, here’s your gateway!
