Episode description

This week, we delve into the enigmatic depths of space with Solaris (1972) by Andrei Tarkovsky and Europa Report (2013) by Sebastián Cordero. Both films feature characters who are on a quest, searching for something profound and elusive in the vastness of space.

We begin with Tarkovsky's Solaris, a philosophical journey that explores the human psyche as much as it does the cosmos. Then, we move to Europa Report, a modern sci-fi thriller that examines the dangers and wonders of deep space exploration.

What drives these characters into the unknown, and what do these films suggest about our own search for meaning in the stars? Join us as we explore these thought-provoking films.
