Solaris is a 2002 American science fiction drama film directed, written, cinematographied and edited by Steven Soderbergh and starring George Clooney and Natascha McElhone. It is based on the 1961 science fiction novel of the same name by Polish writer Stanisław Lem. Reflecting on Andrei Tarkovskys critically acclaimed 1972 film Solaris (which was itself preceded by a 1968 Russian TV film), Soderbergh promised to be closer in spirit to Lems novel. [2] The film is a meditative psychodrama set almost entirely on a space station orbiting Solaris, adding flashbacks to the previous experiences of its main characters on Earth. Clooneys character struggles with the questions of Solaris motivation, his beliefs and memories, and reconciling what was lost with an opportunity for a second chance.
