what. Originally, I just glanced at it and never stopped. I thought it was a political satire, but it turned out to be a historical film based on realistic romance films. I've never seen a real love movie. In the torrent of history, the two people were ravaged by that historical background, but they could never let go of the throbbing hidden in their hearts. However, the reality affects the two people all the time. They parted ways many times due to the differences in values ​​caused by different social ideologies. Every time they meet again, the emotions hidden in the subconscious make the two people lingering together. Under that period of history, this relationship must not come together. The only way for two people to choose a free way, to choose an eternal way, is to die for love. The most artistic last shot "The scenery is better over there, let's go over there" is just like the title of the film "Cold War" seems to be a cold war between lovers, but it is a metaphor that during the Cold War, the hegemony of the former Soviet Union led to people's hardship, and only loyal Dogs can survive just fine. Just like some political parties today. Capitalism has made the male protagonist a pawn in the money interests, without his soul.

The black and white 4:3 lens takes people back to the last century, just like the life of the Polish people, without color. Most of the films use fixed camera positions and deep focus lenses, which are very typical realistic expressions.

The narration is extremely scene-based, from beginning to end, making the time span of the 80-minute film extremely large and the content capacity greatly increased. It also makes the film ambiguous.

The film is completely an art film, so that the layman is completely unable to watch.

    dislike. Because of the director's unusually closed grammar, and because this grammar has been carefully selected and tailored, it points to such an empty, fragmented, and logical direction. How specific and violent a history was originally, how could it be completely sacrificed to love and art, even if we agree that the latter are more eternal things, then it must be from a process of full expansion rather than excessive compression. tempered. The whole movie, like the atmosphere presented on its poster, is immersed in a paranoid pain and love.

    If Pawel showed extraordinary picture ability in Ida, in the Cold War, he told the story of a cultural troupe with minimalist narrative and musical language, simple but not simple. In contrast, the over-the-top pretentiousness of "Youth" really is... #Best of the year TBD
