Film Description
Mind-bending, metaphysical sci-fi about a psychologist who is sent to a space station to investigate mysterious deaths and discovers supernatural phenomena. Slow-moving and elegaic, hypnotic once one adjusts, an undoubted tour de force by Tarkovsky, who also co-wrote the screenplay.

Review by Trevorium on 2nd January 2003
In an ideal world, this work should be recognizable to lovers of literature and film as genuine science-fiction. As pointed out by other reviewers, it has the portent and wonder of Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", but a personalized and so more suspenseful and deadly danger.
Review by jack on 28th June 2000
A beautiful moving film, dealing with the absence and neglect of love and the ultimate wish for the loss of loss. Set on a space station circling solaris, and yet connected to earth by the spectures of past memories and fantasies, the film builds in to plea for a beginning not yet undone.
Review by anon on 28th June 2000
Acclaimed and compared by many to Kubrick's 2001. Cosmonauts reach a planet which allows their most dangerous thoughts to become real. The central idea is familiar from a couple of Star Trek episodes, but it is the humanity and skill with which it is explored that elevates this to such a high level. In essence as much about human relationships as it is about outer space.
Review by anon on 22nd June 1999
I was unsure about this film, having read elsewhere that it was a bit too pretentious and long. However, having enjoyed Stalker immensely, I searched it out and thought it was fantastic. Clever, creepy and ultimately very moving. The ending is magnificent.

This film is more than a film. There is no word to describe how good it is. More emotional impact than '2001'. It has the answers to the meaning of life . . . kind of.
Review by Peter Warring on 14th February 2000
Mind-bending, metaphysical sci-fi about a psychologist who's sent to a space station to investigate mysterious deaths and discovers supernatural phenomena. Slow-moving and occasionally pretentious, but hypnotic once one adjusts, and an undoubted tour de force by Tarkovsky, who also co-wrote the screenplay.

Review by john on 12th December 2002
Like the bible you can almost make this film mean whatever you want it to mean! Those who criticise it for its "slowgoing" miss the point, that what is happening is happening in the mind, emotions and souls of The participants-In particular Hari and Kelvin. I consider it to be a truly spiritual film that gives insight into man's humanity and his own spirituality.

Andrei Tarkovsky died in 1986 at the age of just 54. His seven feature films, commencing with Ivan's Childhood in 1962, form one of the greatest and most individual bodies of work in cinema. Whether nominally making films in the areas of war, medieval histor... View article in full
