He thought Kubrick&rsquo;s film was a sterile catalogue of hardware, technically dazzling and emotionally frozen, science fiction that mistook the machinery for the meaning. In 1972 he made his reply. <em>Solaris</em>, adapted from Stanisław Lem&rsquo;s novel, is the space film as a study of grief, guilt and the unbearable weight of memory, and it opens on reeds waving in a stream outside a country house on Earth, no rocket in sight,, held for so long that you begin to understand you are being retrained in how to watch.</p>Wed, 15 Nov 2023 10:00:00 +0000
