From the archive of film historian and author Joel Finler.
Based on the 1961 novel by Stanislaw Lem, about a psychologist who is sent to a distant space station in order to observe and treat the station's crew, who have fallen into unexplained mental and emotional disorder. An open-ended and conceptually faithful adaptation of Lem's novel, concerning itself with the inability of the human species to communicate with other intelligent life forms, based simply on the fact that a more advanced life form would exist outside the sphere of human experience and understanding.
Set in outer space, and shot on location in Ukraine, Japan, and Russia.
10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
Criterion Collection 164.
