there is definitely a love story that we can't see in every movie.
Very simple, easy to watch, but still keeps you engaged in strange way
Love is portrayed different than other films in this one. Actings are fantastic in showing emotions unfiltered. Liked it
beautiful focus on emotion and details. very real, raw, and a bit strange
shows an unconventional love story where two polar opposites try to understand one another, inevitably resulting in them getting close.
A fine piece of cinema, although I suggest you eatch the whole Dekalog
One of the most beautifully complex and heart shattering love stories ever put to film. Made this director one of my all time favorites.
Probably the most seamless blend of disturbing and beautiful I've ever seen.
What's the difference between love and desire? A story filled with sweet moments where questions like this are raised but never answered.
Great one.
