Challenge #6 - Jeff's Entry - Solaris Redux


Yeah.... this was the toughest challenge, but in a good way. Now I'll need to Netflix everyone's movies so I can experience each of your soundtrack re-dos. Solaris is one of my favorite movies, and it has a decent, eerie soundtrack. But I always wondered if something less spacey would enhance the deep, deep soulfulness of this story.
***
Film opens with rain on the window, Kris hears his wife Rhea's voice. Gregg Laswell's Come Undone starts and then fades out after a few bars.
1. Fleur Blanche, Orsten. Kris Kelvin first sees Solaris' blueness. He arrives at the research ship and explores it hoping to determine what went wrong.
2. Gia, The Infinite Posse. Kris meets Dr. Snow who speaks in riddles, and Dr. Gordon who is tense and angry.
3. Come Undone, Gregg Laswell. Kris falls asleep and begins to dream of Rhea.
4. Cold, Annie Lennox. Kris takes the Rhea clone and tricks her into a pod -- sending her out into space.
5. Pedro, Dahlia. Kris dreams again of Rhea, at the market, the two are deeply in love.
6. Lobby, Sander Van Doorn. Rhea begins to examine her memories, and recalls a positive pregnancy test, a dinner party and her depression.
7. Diamante, Blue States. Rhea realizes she has memories, but no experiences and no idea how she came to be.
8. Black Velvet, Ferry Corsten. Kris and Rhea have a shared memory that she aborted their child without even telling Kris she was pregnant. Kris is furious.
9. Take In, Aiden Hawken. The real Rhea commits suicide -- the clone recalls it.
10. Seize The Day, Cosmic Gate. Kris is confronted about having sent the first clone out into space.
11. Sola Slim, Underworld. The Rhea clone wants to die, vanish. Kris won't allow it as he recalls finding his wife dead. "Death shall have no dominion."
12. Thank You, Alanis Morrisette. "Kris ... Kris" he looks up, "am I dead?" "You don't have to think about that now....."
