The Movie: Solaris (1972)
What Is It?: Andrei
Tarkovsky crafts an adaptation of Stanislaw Lem’s novel about an astronaut
experiencing hallucinations aboard a space station that has Kubrick’s scale and
ability to stir awe and Bergman’s intimacy and inscrutability. Say adios to your heart, because Solaris will wrench it out.
Why Today?: Today
is International Astronomy Day.
