Here he collects the stories of men in a tubercular sanitarium which repeats, to a lesser effect, the methodology of Bylem zolnierzem (I Was a Soldier) (1970). After everyone has told their story, and are seen in a long shot sitting on a terrace attended by a very pretty nurse, Kieslowski delivers the punchline- a bus descends into a nearby town whose factories fill the valley with smoke containing who knows what health destroying toxins. Its all as simple as one, two, three. (imdb)

Icarus

Rated 08 Dec 2010

Similar in structure to Kieslowski's earlier documentary "I Was a Solider," the director follows a few different men dealing with a sickness (tuberculosis) that is never explicitly stated. Their lives have been changed dramatically, yet no one seems to know or care. We see in this film the evidences of Kieslowski's humanism, as well as the desire to show rather than tell the audience his concerns. This is no more evident than in the final shot, which underlines the helplessness of these men.

Rated 08 Dec 2010
