The monotonous everyday life of an elderly couple is recorded almost silently in a time frame of three days. A woman and a man who have lived their whole lives together no longer have anything in common, apart from habit and the arguments that separate them. —Thessaloniki International Film Festival

Director

Original

Dorota Kędzierzawska

Dorota Kędzierzawska (born 1 June 1957 in Łódź) is a Polish director of feature and documentary films.

Kędzierzawska graduated from the National Film School in Łódź in 1981 but prior to that had completed a course in cultural studies at the University of Łódź and studied film directing in Moscow for two years.

In her films Kędzierzawska concentrates on the experiences of disadvantaged children who contend with a difficult financial situation, rejection by adults, or both. Her characters are usually women, hopelessly fighting for the love of their men. —Wikipedia

Beautifully observed, but a little too monotonous, I felt.

As well as being a beautifully observed film the editing was amazing, almost yet not quite jump cuts. Shots never last long and time jumps ahead quickly, however everything seems so calm and cohesively whole.

A bittersweet depiction of love at old age. I thought it would be "monotonous" but some wonderful images especially the close-ups have made this film a gem. :)
