Whether an intelligent alien planet or the woman you married and loved, another being is ultimately and fundamentally unknowable to you.
"We don't need other worlds. We need a mirror."
Materialization of conception, losing touch with nature and reality and falling in love with a mechanical reproduction of memory. Or is that despair our nature? Based on its reputation I had a lot of ideas about what this was and space Vertigo was not one of them lol. One of the straight up scariest endings of any film ever.

men will literally date an extraterrestrial reconstruction of their dead wife instead of going to therapy
There is only one bad thing about sound sleep. They say it closely resembles death.
As much as I hate to be "that guy" that just immediately gives Solaris a perfect score after my first viewing; the raw, stripped down power of this cinematic creation simply must not go without the fullest extent of praise.
Despite giving me one of the most unique experiences of my life, I think Solaris has yet to reveal all its secrets to me. And perhaps it never will. In that respect I think its a gift that keeps on giving. Like the ever changing, shifting, bubbling and churning surface of the fictional planet that gives the film its name, I think Solaris will take…
Today’s lesson: Never watch a Tarkovsky movie again if you did not get your sleep well.
A slow, contemplative sci-fi, made in the 70s with decades of critical acclaim, sounds just perfect to me. So why after nearly 3 hours of watching a flimsy Russian love story set in space am I left feeling wandering what the fuss was about?
Classic art seems to reach an almost untouchable status at times, safe from criticism that can harm it and powerful enough to ensure it is you left wondering why you are just not getting it. There was a point during Solaris where that thought crossed my mind, before the frustration and outright boredom wrapped around me like my favourite duvet.
Solaris wants to ask some big questions about mankind and our purpose, our goals and failures…
Solaris asks the big questions: can you ever really know another? Is defining reality inherently anthropocentric? Should scientists wear leather jackets?
Flawless.
One of the greatest screenplays in cinema history.

Perfect.

it would have been an heroic act of tranic pixie dreamgirlhood for me to have named myself after the hari in this film—a waifish, suicidal tulpa of a scientist's dead wife—but today was in fact my first time seeing this movie
The first movie to ask the question, "Space ocean make you crazy?"
I have no words to properly describe this.
This is my second Andrei Tarkovsky movie and I am beginning to think his movies just aren’t for me.
This movie was beautiful with a good story and interesting philosophical questions but it was just too boring. The movie doesn’t have much going on at least not really enough to justify the almost three hour runtime. It also annoyed me how they spent around 40 minutes on earth at the beginning without much happening and then they don’t even bother to show us his travel to the space station.
The cinematography looked great and is one of the best things about the movie but some of the most beautiful scenes went on for too long, for example a five minute scene…
