There's a lot to like about this adaptation - I'm not sure whether it's been framed as an adaptation of the original novel, Tarkovsky's 1972 film version or the 2002 Soderbergh take through which I first came to Solaris - including its convincingness in immersing the audience in its space station setting via set, sound (often bouncing from all around), stage lighting and projection and the way it escalates the emotional stakes as it goes. It doesn't completely hit its emotional marks, nor does it achieve the immensity and sublimity of last year's Melancholia staging, but nonetheless, very good.
