A famous psychologist is sent to a space station orbiting planet Solaris to investigate strange phenomena. On his arrival, his discovers that the crew is facing mental issues as the planet brings back repressed memories and obsessions…

Photography, as always with Tarkovsky, is perfect – if you can enjoy a slow-paced movie, you will be taken by its esthetics and formal beauty.

A reflexion on death and grief, on nature and human mind, Solaris is a hypnotic reflexion, a poetic psychological drama that happens to be set in space.
