    Cold war is such an unique movie, it reflects the true tragedy of love in a way no other movie has ever done before.
    Definitively one of my favorite movies ever.

    This film really captivated me. I’m Polish and more often than not modern Polish films seem shallow and do not leave an impression on me. This is one of the most visceral, beautiful films I’ve ever seen and the songs are that much better because they are sang in my mother tongue and I can fully understand all the nuances.

      Natalia.... watch „ Najlepszy” Eng title braking the limits or something like that „ Boże ciało” Corpus Christi... „Kler” - Clergy .. and „ Twarz” - mug. You will like or even love it.

    The subtitles for like half the movie on Amazon Prime were missing. While watching this essay I realised how much of a dialogue / lyrics I missed. The film STILL left a massive impact on me. Some brilliant visual filmmaking. What a beautiful movie.

    The bold move of the film is to structure the film sort of like a series of postcards sent from different places at different times. We recognize the same handwriting in each one. This style is like a memory play and allows the audience to fill in the blanks, and lends a lyrical quality to what is a musical of sorts.

    @5:31 what 'circumstances' exactly?
    I just saw the movie and I'm both fascinated & frustrated...especially with Zula...why does she leave him so many times? that too in such extreme ways...didn't make sense at all...is there some subtext I'm missing? is it that she loves her homeland too much or is it because wiktor lied about her to the producer or something else? the video essay did not help in any way!

    The movie is too dark for me. But to it's credit, it realy captures life. My life. I have darkness in my life as well. I prefer to go to other worlds, escape from my own darkness. Saing that, my fav movie of all time is Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. Also a rather dark movie, but I feel like this movie lacks hope. Hope is what is keeping me alive.

    I didn't like either of the leads and I didn't get their choices; either of them returning to Poland for a start.
    The age gap was bothering too.
    Anyhow, hope you enjoyed it.

    i think this movie is kinda overrated to the point that i dont really get most of the praise it gets, it was really rushed and it had no pacing at all, just a lot of time skips and underdeveloped characters that seek conflict for no reason XD cinematically its really pretty, but nothing else
