Solyaris

...a mysterious and powerful movie, much like the strange planet at the far reaches of the universe for which it is named.

...a measured piece in a classic filmmaking style. The content of every shot is carefully constructed, while every cut is timed to the exact milli-second.

...a very impressive achievement, reawakening my heretical doubts as to whether the Russian original needed to be every bit as opaque and lugubrious and slow.
