Cold War is dedicated to director Pawel Pawlikowski’s parents and left me wondering many things. It a beautifully composed movie* with stunning performances, especially by Joanna Kulig. I was fully engaged the entire movie, and yet, it left me rather cold.**
Verdict: Good
Cost: $8.00
Where watched: Cinema 21
Consider also watching: Blue Valentine, Never Let Me Go, Revolutionary Road
*It’s good looking in black and white with whatever aspect ratio makes the film square. Plus, there’s a lot of music.
**I needed more background on the main characters. And I didn’t so much get the ending. I’ll be googling now.
