Pawel Pawlikowski's 2018 film Cold War (I dont know what the Polish means), a director's award winner at Cannes, is an echo and on a par with the best films out of Italy, France and Britain in the post war decades.
The grey world of East European communism is perfectly caught in the early scenes. And it is from this oppressive atmosphere that both the leading characters, musicIans, eventually flee to the West.
But although they achieve the artistic freedom they sought, they find another kind of emptiness in their lives not a whole lot different from that they left.
In the final scene, after they have each found their own way back to Poland, only one path seems open to them.
I've seen it twice now and it's a very impressive piece of cinema, as was his 2013 movie Ida.
