Solyaris (1972)

IMDB: Solyaris (1972)

Plot Summary: The Solaris mission has established a base on a planet that appears to host some kind of intelligence..
======================================================

Film auteurs will tell you that this is *the* Lem film -- the epic sci-film wrapper surrounding an isolationist, angst filled emotional film of loniness and love.

After watching both this and the remake within a week, I have to vie for the latter, which I felt put just the right punch in the story.

Rating: 6
