A mix of Solaris, 2001, and perhaps a touch of Hail Mary by Andy Weir. We're dealing with some psychotically profound psycho-drama here, delving into the self to discover oneself in the vast void.
I love that they didn't relocate the plot to the USA, but kept it on a Czech spacecraft in the sixties (?), complete with retro buttons and bulky phones infused with technology. I initially thought it was written in the sixties, but in fact, it was written in 2017 by Jaroslav Kalfar.
Jakub Prochazka (Sandler) is a depressed astronaut on a solo mission to Jupiter to investigate some strange clouds, but there is some kind of alien on board. His marriage is falling apart, and the control on Earth is more interested in the mission than in him.
It's definitely not a film for everyone, much like 2001 or Solaris weren't, but I was captivated, something that rarely happens to me with American films in recent years.
