How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A haunting meditation on loss and the impossibility of escaping our deepest regrets, disguised in the trappings of hard science fiction. Solaris moves at the pace of introspection, drawing you into the emotional and psychological weight of its premise until the boundary between external mystery and internal torment dissolves entirely.
