SOLARIS

October 7, 22 & 26, 2023
Solaris
Introduced by Olympia Film Society’s Joaquin de la Puente on 10/7
Ground control has been receiving mysterious transmissions from the three remaining residents of the Solaris space station. When cosmonaut and psychologist Kris Kelvin is dispatched to investigate, he experiences the same strange phenomena that afflict the Solaris crew, sending him on a voyage into the darkest recesses of his consciousness. With Solaris, the legendary Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky created a brilliantly original science-fiction epic that challenges our conceptions about love, truth, and humanity itself.
Dir: Andrei Tarkovsky / 1972 / Soviet Union / 166 min

“Tarkovsky’s eerie mystic parable is given substance by the filmmaker’s boldly original grasp of film language and the remarkable performances by all the principals.” – Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

“The film has a hypnotic pull, drawing the viewer deeper and deeper into its enigmatic adventure by crafting a world all its own.” – Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

“It’s a thoughtful, deep, sensitive movie that uses the freedom of science-fiction to examine human nature.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
