About
SURREALIST SATURDAYS
A psychologist is sent to a space station orbiting a planet called Solaris to investigate the death of a doctor and the mental problems of cosmonauts on the station. He soon discovers that the water on the planet is a type of brain which brings out repressed memories and obsessions.
PROGRAMMER’S NOTE: Known as a landmark of the sci-fi genre, SOLARIS can also be read as one of the most important surrealist films of all time, showcasing the cinematic language at its most expressive in interpreting some of the most complex human emotions.
