Recently I completed a lengthy analysis of Steven Soderbergh's 2002 adaptation of Solaris. This essay was accepted for publication by the Senses of Cinema online Film Journal.

Title: The Ideal Candidate: Solaris as Philosophical Riddle Box
Abstract: This article seeks to evaluate Steven Soderbergh's 2002 adaptation of
Solaris in lights not often considered. In addition to a comparison of
the film’s Visitors to Baudrillard's notion of the hyperreal, the author
wishes to draw connections to the hosts’ abnormal psychological states
and the effect on one's morality. Finally, the text itself is discussed
as self-reflexively commenting on its own status as simulacrum through
the concept or reproduction as adaptation.
