| Resumo: | Tarkovsky’s Solaris converts Stanislaw Lem’s science fiction into a tragic drama: not only a problem of conscience, but also a dilemma of action. If there is a dramatic antihero, Kris Kelvin, there is also a tragic heroine, Hary, both antagonistic and complementary forms of the same conscience. Some effects of such hypothesis unfold, in successive order of the experience of strangeness: thedread, the seduction, the familiarity in the relationship with the double. However, there is a higher degree in the fantastic character of this drama: the autonomy of the duplicate woman, her discourse as well as her decision in the outcome, attitudes which allow for a feminist interpretation of the film.Hary’s speech represents a critique of the historical and existential condition of woman, and Hary, on the other hand, embodies an inauthentic subjectivity according to Simone de Beauvoir’s thinking. |
