Review of Camera Buff (1979) by Jake G — 21 Oct 2009
Polish filmmaker Kryzstof Kieslowski's AMATOR (CAMERA BUFF) is a brilliant, ultra-personal film that far too few people have heard of. In Kieslowski's sure hands, AMATOR increases by the minute in complexity. At the film's beginning, Filip Mosz is a ordinary man who loves his wife, daughter, and nothing more. By the film's end, we sense the passion for film that has awoken in him, and its tragic implications for his loved ones. Kieslowski reaches a tragi-comic balance in this film, and it is one not to be missed- to be seen before you die.
This is one of the strongest recommendations I've ever given a film: aspiring directors and film buffs- and anyone who loves movies- need to see AMATOR.
