Enormous flex. Pretty much the best looking film ever.
No, this is not 2001: A Space Odyssey. That film deals with evolution. This one explores the pursuit of knowledge and questions what love is
Extremely slow paced but worth sinking your time and attention into this master class of science fiction meets metaphors
Solaris asks a question similar to the Ship of Theseus. If we could copy people from our memories of them, would they still be themselves?
Great movie, can't wait to watch more tarkovsky
A beautiful meditation on human relationships & the meaning of all this mess that surrounds us everyday through the lens of a sci-fi premise
an often overlooked science fiction classic with some pretty complex and heady themes to make you think for days afterward
A unique and cerebral film, with beautiful visuals, and an intricate plot, about self-discovery and existentialism.
In typical Tarkovsky fashion he uses a f’n 3hr grand space epic to explore the vague concept of capital E Existentialism. Visually stunning
It's a slow film without action that is not made for everyone, its purpose is fully intellectual and reflective. A masterpiece of Sci-Fi.
