Ground control has been receiving mysterious transmissions from the three remaining residents of the Solaris space station.  When cosmonaut and psychologist Kris Kelvin is dispatched to investigate, he experiences the same strange phenomena that afflict the Solaris crew, sending him on a voyage into the darkest recesses of his consciousness.  With Solaris, the legendary Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky created a brilliantly original science-fiction epic that challenges our conceptions about love, truth, and humanity itself.

“A profoundly beautiful and disturbing Russian film that reaches far beyond the realms of the future depicted in Kubrick’s 2001.” –  Lucie K. Scheuer, Los Angeles Free Press

“Easily one of the most important science fiction films of all time.” – Joe Bendel

The Guild Cinema is located at 3405 Central Ave NE in the Nob Hill area.
