But is directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski. It changes everything...
So, voyeurism can be a form of love? Or (real) love can come from perversion? Ck, love…who can understand even a little of it :P
My least favourite of Kieślowski’s major works - it’s a uniquely cold and more distant entry into his oeuvre, and I may even prefer the relative concision of its corresponding Decalogue episode. But it’s certainly still an intriguing take on voyeurism, and it’s also hard not to hold some admiration at least for the graceful presentation and sombre humanism - welcoming staples of the director’s work.
"Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours For one lone soul another lonely soul, Each choosing each through all the weary hours And meeting strangely at one sudden goal. Then blend they, like green leaves wiht golden flowers, Into one beautiful and perfect whole; And life's long night is ended, and the way Lies open onward to eternal day." Destiny - Sir Edward Arnold
Erotic, Intimate, and enigmatic masterpiece of Krzysztof Kieslowski. A sublime discussion between the thin line of love and mere lust. Sometimes, pure love comes from the dark chambers of desire. Is it a true love? or is it just a devil of desire play it's trick on your mind? There's never be an absolute answer. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful feeling
wow i saw this film years ago and I didn't have any idea that it was Kieślowski film!!!!
Gosh um... I really don't know. We'll see if this rating changes when I buy the boxset and watch it several more times.
a very beautiful film about unrequited love...grazyna szapolowska looks stunning...
This film seems quiet and humble on the surface but it has a beautiful story that's universal and incredibly sad! You're right Tyler, seriocomedy is some kind of a mistake. Unless I missed something.
There is such a thing called love. It exists. I had seen a Hindi remake a couple of years ago, and had liked it! But after watching the original at a screening at National Film Archive of India, Pune, now I know why the remake is unbearably horrible... Even the thought of it will make me puke.
an unbearably beautiful and human piece of work... but why is it described as a seriocomedy? i didn't find this film very funny...
