Cold War, warm story.

Rating: 8/10 (29 September 2018)

A story of a star-crossed lovers, with a passion that has the power to destroy them both. In gorgeous, cold war black and white the movie is evocative of that period in Poland and France while telling a timeless story. There are interesting musical scenes throughout and a cinematic glimpse inside the cold war Eastern bloc from this director's point of view.
Joanna Kulig is excellent as Zula, I wish we could see more of her, and Tomasz Kot a perfect accompaniment! Great to see such quality emerging from Poland and hopefully giving the local talent some recognition internationally.
