COLD WAR 2018
(Polish: Zimna Vojna )
by
Pawel Pawlikovsky
This saga of two lovers,both united in their Polish roots
and deep-seated passion for each other,but separated often by boundaries,
ambition , levels of patience and expectations takes place between 1940s and
1960s.
Action primarily takes
place in Warsaw, Paris and Yugolslavia. What better way to give this a period
feel than shoot this in lux black and white and place reliance upon jazz,wine
and cigarettes.
But this film has Tomasz Kot and Joana Kulig,and its their
tempestuous chemistry that raises the film above its visually stark style. The
duo singe the screen with passion,and convince the audience of how all this
might just be true.
Pawlikovsky’s IDA won the Best Foreign Film Oscar in 2013.
Cold War was also nominated but didn’t win. Pawlikovsky was nominated in the
Best Director category. At 88 minutes,the film is a cracker !
