Wonderful motion picture... when I began watching it, I felt grateful of seeing something different, and thought a couple of times "Europeans have many fascinating stories to tell, beyond the Roman empire, Napoleon, Queen Victoria or the Holocaust", as public officers travel across Poland, recollecting popular songs and creating a sing and dance program of Polish folk music.
But then it turned into a delirious love story, a tragic one indeed, with many twists and locations, moving the story in blocks of drama in several European cities, always in a passionate tone. The politics of Cold War are always present, the story being told against the pressures of the ideological battle, the somber spaces of control, the dark characters.
A beautiful, intelligent, poetic film, indeed.
