Episode 119 - Solaris

In this episode of the show, we are continuing our journey through the cinema of Steven Soderbergh as we talk his 2002 re-adaptation of Solaris. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about the allure of making a sci-fi spectacle and rubbing shoulders with Tarkovsky, using a genre template as a vehicle for a psychological drama, the idea of Solaris as a fully functional allegory the viewers did not appreciate at the time, the place of spirituality in a scientist's life, George Clooney as an introspective lead and much more!

Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows

Intro: Infraction - Cassette
