Comments

Second adaptation of the novel of Stanislas Lem by the American realizer Steven Soderbergh appeared in 2002.

This version of Solaris is a particular science fiction film, it acts of a slow méditatif psychodrama on a history of love. The novel presented in this film raises the question of the true love : that which imprisons the other in the desire and the memories does not recognize him its human personality… it lives only in one dream! Park with the alarm clock!

This intellectual film caught on the wrong foot the medium to the American cinema.

This version has also a great debt with the Solaris of Andrei Tarkovsky because, although it was " D-imaginée" by the realizer, Clooney and McElhone resemble much Donatas Banionis and Natalya Bondarchuk which played the original parts. In fact, more than one adaptation of the novel, this film seems to be influenced at the same time by the novel of Lem and film of Tarkovsky.
