The Twitch-presented Attack The Bloc series of Cold War era science fiction films from the Eastern Bloc kicks off next week at the TIFF Bell Lightbox with a screening of Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris, January 19th at 9:30 pm.
I'll be on hand to present the screening and you could be there for free as well. We've got three pairs of tickets to give away for the screening and all you've got to do to win a pair of your very own is email me here and name two other pictures in the series based on stories by Stanislaw Lem. All the answers can be found here.Something has gone wrong on the space station orbiting the mysterious planet Solaris: one member of the crew is dead, while the two survivors are sending strange, nonsensical messages back to Earth. Arriving at the station to investigate, psychologist Kris Kelvin (Donatas Banionis) makes a startling discovery: Solaris is actually an immense intelligence that is capable of drawing forth one's fears and desires and bringing them to vivid, physical life. Kelvin is soon faced with the "return" of his long-dead wife, Hari (Natalya Bondarchuk) -- but is she real or only a construct patched together from his memories? And does it even matter as long as she stays? Adapting Stanislaw Lem's classic novel, Tarkovsky's Solaris is a visually stunning and philosophically profound work that ranks with Kubrick's 2001 as a pinnacle of science-fiction cinema.
