| Description |
|
Based on the science fiction novel by Stanislaw Lem, Solaris has become the most popular of Tarkovsky's works. Cosmonaut Kris Kelvin is dispatched to a space station orbiting the mysterious planet Solaris. The scientists must face the alien intelligence of the ocean-covered planet, which is able to materialize anyone from the past. Kelvin must face his dead wife, and again confront the division between them which drove her to a suicide. |
| Critical Acclaim |
"A towering movie... one of the most thoughtful science fiction epics ever and one of the few worthy successors to 2001
