Details: Amazon.ca How do we live with our dead? If we think of Amenabar's Others, Shymalan's Sixth Sense or François Ozon's Under the Sand, we see that this is a theme that runs through contemporary cinema. Reviving the memory, surviving the loved one, so many themes conducive to poetic effects in the best of cases, tearful in most of them. From the inventive and prolific Steven Soderbergh – who passes happily without forcing his very great talent from Ocean's Eleven to Full Frontal, via Sex, lies and video or Kafka –, we should not expect anything known. Associated for the occasion with James Cameron for the production, he seizes these themes from the angle of SF. But beware: a SF without special effects, or almost… A kind of depressive, slow, painful, nostalgic SF. Dominated by bluish and metallic tones in space, ocher and warm on earth, his meditation on memory and time evokes the work that Alain Resnais could have accomplished from the same material. Rather than a remake of the film directed by the Russian Tarkovsky in 1972, the director of Traffic offers a new adaptation and a very personal reading. And it's really moving, like the poem by Dylan Thomas which irrigates in deep waters this very singular SF film, held from start to finish by a George Clooney and a Natasha McElhone – Truman Show, Mrs. Dalloway – spotless. --Sylvain Lefort Product Description Superstar George Clooney turns in a stellar performance in this "brilliant sci-fi movie" (New York Daily News) from Academy Award winners Steven Soderbergh (2000 - Best Director, Traffic) and JamesCameron (1997 - Best Picture, Titanic). Aboard a lonely space station orbiting a mysterious planet, terrified crew members are experiencing a host of strange phenomena, including eerie visitors who seem all too human. And when psychologist Chris Kelvin (Clooney) arrives to investigate, he confronts a power beyond imagining that could hold the key to mankind's deepest dreams…or darkest nightmares. Co-starring Natascha McElhone and Jeremy Davies, Solaris is "mind-bending!" (RollingStone)
