Stanislaw Lem's novel Solaris has been made into two films, one by Andrai Tarkovsky and the other by Stephen Soderbergh. Honestly, I cannot stand either one (though the Cliff Martinez score for the Soderbergh film is delightful).
The novel has been published in numerous languages in dozes of editions. The Hype & Hyper site has cataloged a ton of them. Wonderful to see how one title can inspire so many different interpretations.
‘A Kind of Language: Storyboards and Other Renderings for Cinema’ is an exhibition showing at Milan’s Fondazione Prada’s Osservatorio from January 30th to September 8, 2025.
ArtNet’s got a great article on the exhibit: From ‘Raging Bull’ to ‘Un Chien Andalou’—A New Show Traces Cinema’s Greatest Storyboards.
