Plot
A psychologist is sent to a space station orbiting an ocean planet that conjures people from the crew's memories.
Sinekatalog’s take
Tarkovsky's slow sci-fi sends a psychologist to a space station where memories take human form. It is more about guilt and love than space, and its long, quiet scenes reward patience.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
