Exquisite Filmmaking! Kievlowski was a true Master

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2002)

This film lingers with you for days. It is shot beautifully and possesses a haunting suspensful edge. Our voyeuristic desires are satisfied when we're invited to enter the main character's psyche. Unlike Hichtcock, who was wonderful at manipulating our emotions with his contrived form of suspense. Kievlowski examines the intrigue and strangeness which exists in our plain reality. How truly fascinating is the seemingly ordinary human animal as seen through the eyes of a great filmmaker. Elengant, perplexing, thought provoking and ultimately liberating are the words to describe this film which much be watched as an event, not just another rental. The film also brings out the extraordinary talent of Juliette Binoche, in what I believe has been her best role to date. Don't miss it. Catch it with a special friend or loved one and some good vin rouge.
