Yes

Watched the Curzon 4K I picked up a while back. Operates more on the level of sensation than plot, which I suspect accounts for the variance in Letterboxd ratings. It is possible to read this as an expression of Kieslowski’s feelings on making movies in France vs Poland, but even without that layer of political allegory it works as a beautiful, dreamlike fable.

Irene Jacob, absolutely incredible.
