synopsis
Dans la Pologne communiste, Witek, un étudiant en médecine, court pour attraper un train à destination de Varsovie. À partir de cet instant unique se déploient trois versions distinctes de son avenir, chacune façonnée par le fait qu’il parvient ou non à monter dans le train.
Asks to be read for both its political and its philosophical implications. Kieślowski appears to propose that even in the divisive, paranoid atmosphere of late Communist Poland, a retreat from politics is not the answer. The echo chamber of unhappy endings amounts to a howl of no-win pessimism. But Kieślowski was a pessimistic humanist; his despair over humanity coexisted with a stubborn faith in it.
Criterion Collection
The indelible fulcrum of Kieslowski’s career as a documentarian and his blossoming as a major arthouse auteur.
Slant Magazine
One of Krzysztof’s best films, perhaps even the best and the most original.
