I’ve been meaning to watch Solaris (1972) (#40) for some time but was told by many that it is heavy going. But actually it’s just quite slow.
.. &the absence of much of a sound landscape makes the film feel unusual, esp when compared to other sci fi films about space & isolation.
I don’t know. That was probably intentional. I imagine it’s quite quiet in space, right? It did give good insight into scientists lives.
Specifically the life you leave behind.. And I really liked the end. But I think other sci fi films have done space/isolation/madness better
(to my own liking, at least). Overall. I can see why it got cult status. But I didn’t personally enjoy it.
