Solaris

THERE ARE SOME PLACES MAN IS NOT READY TO GO.

solarisChris Kelvin (George Clooney), a psychiatrist, goes to a space station orbiting the planet Solaris where the crew have had strange encounters; soon Chrisā€™s dead wife (Natascha McElhone) appears to him.Ā The remake of Tarkovskyā€™s 1972 sci-fi classic is significantly shorter and focuses entirely on the emotions of a relationship that has ended tragically; the memories, the grief and the dangerous temptation of holding on to all that forever. Interesting, but a lot less gripping than the original; we never feel entirely involved in the Kelvin marriage.

2002-U.S. 99 min. Color. Widescreen. Written, directed, photographed and edited byĀ Steven Soderbergh. Novel: Stanislaw Lem. Cast: George Clooney (Chris Kelvin), Natascha McElhone (Rheya), Jeremy Davis (Snow), Viola Davis, Ulrich Tukur.Ā 

Trivia:Ā Co-produced by James Cameron, who reportedly considered directing the film with Daniel Day-Lewis in the lead.
