A Short Film About Love (1988)
Country: POL
Technical: col 87m
Director: Krzysztof Kieslowski
Cast: Grazyna Szapolowska, Olaf Lubaszenko
Synopsis:
A lonely young post office worker spies on an attractive older woman who lives opposite his block of flats, admiring her comfortable lifestyle and the stream of suitors to her door. However, when they finally meet she is not as happy as he assumed.
Review:
Kieslowski's treatment of 'Love thy Neighbour', expanded from his Dekalog TV series, is a typically wrong-footed exercise in audience expectation. As finely made as ever, it explores the woman's response to being adored from afar, eschewing any facile 'peeping Tom' categorisation of her admirer's behaviour.
