“Solaris” is a film made by Andrei Tarkovsky, a legendary Russian director. Tarkovsky was reportedly so infuriated by what he saw as the shortcomings and pretentiousness of Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” that he made his film as a criticism of Kubrick’s. With its unusual structure and focus, “Solaris” is truly unlike any other science fiction film of the era and stands as a towering achievement in film history.
