2002: A Space Odyssey
Solaris—whether you're talking about the 1972 original
or the new remake—is one weird movie. This time around, the
outer-space thriller, in which a malicious planet (?!) plays games
with a crew's fragile psyches by re-creating their deceased loved
ones, is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars George Clooney
and Natascha (Surviving Picasso) McElhrone. Somewhat confused
after a screening, we turned to the film's lovely heroine for answers.
"I don't know what everything means," we were relieved to hear McElhone
say. "In the end, I think what Steven wanted to do was raise a bunch
of interesting questions about fate and about love, and then let
the audience decide."
