Kevin Richard Martin
Return to Solaris
(Phantom Limb)
★★★
HAVING the gumption to tackle something as seminal as Solaris is either incredibly brave and daring or the most brazen example of foolishness.
The biggest challenge for the composer is not only daring to create something for one of the most important films of the last century but also placing themselves in direct contention with the original composer, Eduard Artemyev.
