About us
Screening as part of a short series in connection with the Musica Viva performance on Saturday 12 October of Schubert's Winterreise, 'Solaris' is a beautiful parable about love, loss, memory and grief. The film centres on a widowed psychologist who is sent to a space station, orbiting a water-dominated planet called Solaris, to investigate the mysterious death of a doctor. Finding the remaining crew to be behaving oddly and aloof, Kelvin is more than surprised when he meets his seven-years-dead wife on the station.Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival, 'Solaris' is a haunting, meditative film that uses sci-fi to raise complex questions about humanity and existence, memory and the transfiguring power of love.
