Gorgeously shot and emotionally-charged Polish film

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2019)

Loosely inspired by the turbulent relationship of Polish filmmaker Pawel Pawlikowski, Zimna wojna (2018) tells the emotional love story between a music director, Wiktor, and a young singer, Zula. Gorgeously shot with beautiful B&W cinematography, the film immerses you right into the Cold War era and really makes you believe you're experiencing the events and politics of that period. Incredibly lead performances and some beautiful music as well, this film easily becomes one of my top films of 2018. It's seriously that good!
