Our take
Ari Folman followed the Oscar®-nominated Waltz With Bashir with this striking adaptation of Stanisław “Solaris” Lem’s novella. Reconfiguring Lem’s tale of an illusory utopia into a biting Hollywood satire, Folman blends live-action with hallucinatory animation for a vivid, sci-fi head trip.
