the last week was the first time i watched any of kieslowski's films. I watched two, but ill talk about a short film about love here.
This was the first time i actually felt deeply connected to a character in a film and i found myself getting into tomek's skin and bones.
From thinking of him as a creep in the beginning to finally ending up rooting for him was quite a journey that i felt i was taken on.
I felt the narrative structure and the events that happened were themselves put into the story with a sense of intuition.there are some things which we all do and relate to, like putting a block of ice to your ear when your ear gets hot, and the next second, munching on that very piece of ice.
In terms of my story building, i took from it this very "freedom" that comes through in this story. Of putting in events which you want to put in ( all of them deeply telling events ) regardless of "that couldnt have happened?how can a guy do that?".
People do strange things and when you get to know a person enough to like them, which is what happened with me getting to know the characters, you bear with them even if they do unexpected things, like tomek slitting his wrist. you want to understand why they would have done that instead of making a judgement and forming opinions
A lot of character was added to the story in its cinematography. the actions, which i see in all european films were slow and allow you to get sucked into a meditative pace, and somehow highlight the soft spoken nature of the characters. they dont tell you anything,
The lighting was beautiful, which is what i need to work on to move towards a succesfull project.
