Stanislaw Lem's novel Solaris was published the same year as Hiroshima Mon Amour was released. Using the two works of art as a pivot point, directors Kuba Mikurda and Izabela Zubrycka cut together 70 Eastern European educational films from the period and overlay it with a radio adaption of Solaris in order to create a trip to another world.
Belt in ladies and gentleman this is a wild ride.
Weaving together a bunch of things that should never go together Mikurda and Zubrycka have created a film that creates its very own world. Watch the film we quickly fall under it spell and go to a planet far away. It's so well done that unless you know it was cut together from various sources, you would never know. (No really, this plays as an off-kilter art film from the period)
I personally love collage films like this because I find that when they are done right the illusion of reality is so much stronger than a regular film. As such, this film got me where I live and took me to some where else.
Highly recommended.
