"The Congress" is the latest work by Israeli director Ari Folman, who previously directed "Waltz with Bashir." The film continues the realistic approach of "Waltz with Bashir," but its content ventures further into fantasy, stepping directly into the realms of science fiction and futurology. "The Congress" is adapted from a short story by Polish science fiction, philosophy, and futurology writer Stanisław Lem. It tells the story of the male protagonist entering a world where hallucinogenic drugs replace reality. Lem’s science fiction is distinguished by its unique philosophical framework, and his most famous novel, "Solaris," was adapted into a film by Andrei Tarkovsky in 1972, with a Hollywood version remade by Steven Soderbergh in 2002. In the film adaptation of "The Congress," the male protagonist is changed to a female lead, and her identity shifts from an astronaut to an actress. The actress faces a career bottleneck, losing her popularity, and in despair, she steps into a fantastical future created by psychology and pharmacology.
