If you loved Silent Running, try Brainstorm
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Douglas Trumbull, and they sit in Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Silent Running, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Brainstorm is
Autumn in a windowless lab, the hum of a neural scanner low and constant. A scientist watches his colleague’s final breath on a monitor, the image looping in monochrome. Like Kubrick directing a corporate noir, but with more oscilloscopes.
