Solaris

In only his first dozen films, Steven Soderbergh has created one of Hollywood’s most eclectic filmographies. But he still hasn’t made a sci-fi flick—until now. Join us as we discuss his 2002 remake of Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1972 Soviet SF classic, “Solaris.”

Keir’s one-sentence summary:

When a psychiatrist investigates the seeming space madness among the crew of a station orbiting the mysterious new planet Solaris, he discovers the planet is creating doppelgangers of their deceased loved ones—and when his dead wife appears, he decides he’d rather go down with the ship with her than return to reality.
