With His Master’s Voice, iconoclast György Pálfi adapts Stanislaw Lem’s novel of the same name. The Polish author’s work has also inspired Andreï Tarkovski (Solaris, 1972) and Ari Folman (The Congress, 2013). As usual, the Hungarian filmmaker mixed media and images: unbounded, Pálfi created a hybrid and ground-breaking film that cannot be defined by a single tone or genre. Prepare to rethink the boundaries between fantasy and reality.
