Love across borders

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2019)

Filmed in black and white adds to an authentic feel of 1950's and early 1960's, this is a love story. Not a sweet, enduring, romantic love but a sensuous, irresistible, ultimately tragic love that reaches out from an austere, bright, folksy Poland to a bohemian sultry Paris and back.
Beautifully filmed, great characters (not necessarily likeable).
The films leaps across time and places giving a somewhat episodic feel.
