Reviews
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Blistering performances.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
The last movie of Piesiewicz's trilogy, Nadzieja (Purgatory), was directed by polish director Stanislaw Mucha, and is tells the story of a young-boy Francis, who lost his mother in childhood as a result of an accident caused by him, and is now trying to make up for it by trying to save an art dealer soul who has stolen a painting from a church.Being written by Piesiewicz the movie does not fail to deliver a brilliant script, which is purposefully made to be seen as "thought-provoking". This mixed with the amazing direction of Stanislaw Mucha, which obviously got some inspiration out of Kieslowski's movies and a very good acting, makes up for an amazing experience. In sum, this is a perfect movie for everyone who is a fan of Kieslowski's work. However it is important to note that the movie is a bit slow pace, and so might not be of the interest of the mainstream audience.
