    Stunning framing and music, grand narrative background, helpless love. The first time she missed it, she felt that she was not good enough. Missed the second time, each has its own place. The third miss, the ideal hit the rocks in reality. For the fourth time, they finally found their eternal abode. The Berlin Wall fell, Big Brother was gone, and Poland joined the EU. The world is so big, there is always a place for a pair of...

    When directors in post-socialist countries deal with the relationship between individuals and the times, they can’t always find the right place to start. Either it is a simple correspondence, or it is a conceptual comparison. The worst is a national fable. The fault of this film is that it is in the form of superficial images (the framing of many scenes is close to static photography, which is not an advantage). It attempts to rely on images and the so-called power of the times to enhance the...

But what's interesting to me is that the protagonists are musicians, and when they travel to cities in Europe, the style of music also changes according to their circumstances.

    Another topic about "Star-Crossed Lovers". I've said this is the subject I can empathize with the most, and this one is no exception.

    Let's talk about some flaws first.

    Aside from political metaphors, the director made anti-dynamic and blunt editing in the transition of several urban scenes, and most...
