Cold War är inte inte Ida, men bra ändå. Handlingen är ganska enkel - jag vill inte säga banal - men samtidigt återspeglar utvecklingen centrala delar av östeuropeisk historia. Och så är det bildsättningen! Filmen är en fröjd för ögat, samtidigt som bilderna mer än något annat bär historien.

Beautiful to look at and with a few remarkable scenes, especially some of the singing. But the pacing feels unbalanced. Too slowly paced to begin with and rushed at the end.

Feels like a spare, restrained, arthouse version of the Hollywood epic historical romance (think DR ZHIVAGO by way of Bob Rafelson) - frustratingly brief, and not really able to come to grips with either the historical events/changes depicted or the tempestuous romance at its core. Chiefly interesting for Kulig and Kot who bring electricity to their moments of passion; Pawlikowski's exacting direction is impressive, but never really engaging. Beautiful b&w cinematography.

Although 'Cold War' is a far from easy watch, the directing and acting in the film is really good. A historical period drama directed by Pawel Pawlikowski. Pawlikowski won best director at the "Cannes Film Festival". With a short running time of 85 minutes, the movie did feel longer. Made up of mostly music, this is a very realistic love story. l liked that Pawlikowski chose to show his film in black and white. This deeply personal film was inspired by the lives of Pawlikowski's parents.

Good addition to Pawlikowski's filmography, even if I still prefer his previous films Ida and Summer of Love. Visually it's beautiful and both leads have great faces for B/W photography; Tomasz could have been a film noir antihero while Kulig could have starred in a French New Wave film. However, the characters remained too distant and I never felt their need to be together; this is a rare exception where adding some scenes might have improved the film. Plus point for use of a Mario Bava film.

Mind you that this is a very very subjective review. I raced with my car to the city nearby to barely catch ladies who sold me the ticket. Only ticket, as I was alone. With one strong beer in my pocket I headed in. It was perfect - small city in a small country, empty cinema and movie about some other times of Poland. Shot in 1.37:1 aspect ratio and black and white it's simply gorgeous. The movie relies heavily on aesthetics and compostion so characters and story don't develop well. Still.

As was evident in Ida, Pawlikowski and his DOP seem to be more keen on mood, framing and composition than proper storytelling. While the film looks and sounds classy as fuck, 85 minutes just falls short at telling a decade-spanning love story, leaving the rushed, central romance as underdeveloped as its dull characters.

Pavlikowski nin neredeyse "ozet" sayilabilecek kurgu tarzi, filmin motoru olan karakterler arasi duygu yogunlugunu ve bazi anlardaki motivasyonu tam olarak anlayamamamiza sebep olabiliyor. Cok bilindik bir hikaye, fakat cok siradisi bir setting ve harika gorsellik. Ister istemez Savas sonrasi dogu blokunda Jeux D'enfants cagrisimlari yapiyor.

Pawlikowski uses great folkloric and period detail to tell an elliptical expat tale that suffers from its schematic and finally pathetic lead characters. Because they're not interesting beyond their situation in communist Poland, all the transcendent romantic imagery only leads to pat clichés and dubious choices. A love story has to turn on the inner lives of its protagonists, not the generalized, chilly distance the director treats his political pawns with.
