Solaris is a 2002 film directed by Steven Soderbergh based on Stanislaw Lem's novel Solaris (1961). The meditative psychological drama takes place mostly aboard a space station orbiting a fictional planet. The film borrows heavily from Tarkovsky's 1972 film. Chris struggles with questions of Solaris' motivation, his beliefs, memories and reconciling what was lost with an opportunity for a second chance.
Lem criticized the film for its departure from his intentions: "As Solaris' author I shall allow myself to repeat that I only wanted to create a vision of a human encounter with something that certainly exists, in a mighty manner perhaps, but cannot be reduced to human concepts, ideas or images. This is why the book was entitled Solaris and not Love in Outer Space."
Solaris features Natascha McElhone (Rheya), George Clooney (Chris Kelvin), Viola Davis (Gordon), Jeremy Davies (Snow), Ulrich Tukur (Gibarian), John Cho (DBA Emissary #1).
