Pure cinema. And a must for anyone with any interest in Eastern bloc Cold War experience
The story may be in need of some polishing, but I’ll concede that “Cold War” is really well made.
The story is beautiful and the characters are great. I just wish it when on for a little longer. It also would've worked as a short film
Spanning nearly 20 years in the life of two Polish people in the time of Soviet rule. A bitter-sweet love story. Touching and beautiful.
Brilliant film with gorgeous cinematography. Very deserving of it's awards and nominations
Stunning. Complex and romantic. Maybe not to watch with a significant other, tbh
Slow but still pretty good. Amazing cinematography.
A beautiful homage to a bygone era of cinema that never feels too snobbish.
Polish cinema at it's finest, tells the dramatic story of two people who found each other in times that did not belong to them
Cold War affected me in ways I'm not yet ready to describe. It's truly a perfect film. Just go watch it.
