Kieslowski could have conquered this film a few years ago. I can't look at it now. It has a strong sense of form.

Originally, I wanted to talk about what the whole film wanted to express at the beginning, but I thought later, that was not the case at all. The shadow on the screen is not only the most important color narrative in the whole film (the later works of Kieslowski are also commonly used), but also an efficient and spreading atmosphere to the extreme. The narrative with multiple clues presents the fragmented and divided social picture to the audience like a kaleidoscope contaminated with dust, which is an absolutely extreme viewing experience. However, forgive me for my unfamiliarity and lack of understanding of Keith's philosophical expression. I always feel that the film's pure imagery bursts with too much stimulation. It was so intense that I couldn't stand it.
