Leith Kino Presents - Ikarie XB-1 (1963)
Czechoslovak Ikarie XB-1 (1963, dir. Jindřich Polák) is a loose adaptation of The Magellanic Cloud by the cult Polish writer Stanisław Lem (Solaris). As a crew journeys across the galaxy in search of new life, the film explores the limits of human knowledge and power. Ikarie XB-1 stunningly captures the dreams of the Space Age as well as the anxieties of the Cold War, and is regarded as a key influence on Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Directed by Jindřich Polák
Runtime: 1h 26
