Kieslowski's slow, awe-inspiring lyric of reality

Kieslowski's films are about writing poems about fate. In the contrast of light and dark, the change of rhythm and the switching of shots, everything is presented to you naturally. The truth created by that distance can be extremely touching, and it is even difficult to distinguish the boundary between truth and falsehood. Restrained, repressed, soothing, elegant and sacred and solemn, the soundtrack seems to bring the viewer to a calm and detached hall of humanity, quietly watching everything that happens in the ordinary world from afar, but finds that he is there again In the world, every second of emotion and silence, repression and restraint, seems to be looking at oneself, every expression and word of the characters, but it is like reading one's own inner emotions, empathy again and again, emotions and hearts Clean again and again. This is a story of crime and redemption, a story of worldly order and repentance, but it is just one of countless ordinary stories on earth. This is Kieslowski's slow and awe-inspiring lyric of reality.
