Tarkovsky's slow-burn meditation on grief and humanity

The Breakdown

Faithful to Lem's core while adding Tarkovsky's poetic depth
Practical Soviet-era effects and long takes carry the weight
Treats adult themes of memory, love, and existence with respect
Nearly three hours demands patience and subtitles
Lem reportedly disliked the philosophical liberties taken

Side Effects

planet manifesting your dead wife, time dilation in your living room
