I've seen COM today for the first time (of many, i fell in love with the movie) and it made me think a lot of a somewhat rare Czech movie called Ikarie XB1.
The movie was a HUGE influence on Kubrick's 2001.. You can find it on some torrent trackers, it's worth it. see some of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyraLxGHgzo of course, the original Solaris is also higly recommended if you liked COM (in fact, to me COM feels like a mix between Solaris and Eraserhad, two of my favorite movies). |

Yes definitely the original "Solaris" by Tarkovsky. The Clooney re-make didn't do the same thing for me as the Russian original. I saw that movie so long ago but it made a huge impression on me. The original "Solaris" was a very untypical sci-fi film. The sets were quite original and the feeling I still remember was overpoweringly claustrophobic and disorienting.
And I agree, there is a Lynch/ Eraserhead thing going on too, particularly with the baby stuff. |

I don't want to oversell it, however I do highly recommend this one. Just saw it last night and the three of us had our jaws on the floor, or else were giggling with delight at how great the visuals are. |
