Review of Saviour Square (2006) by Oktawian W — 01 Jan 2009
Krysztof Krauze, brightest hope in the new wave of Polish cinema, returns to the social realism of his breakthrough movie Dlug. Plac Zbawiciela is social cinema at it's best, perhaps more Mike Leigh than Dardenne, and an uncompromising uncovering of post-communist society and it's disruptive effects on a young family.
As the film's title suggests, there's also a deep catholic subtext buried in there and a theme of absolution going on. Strong performances from all main actors.
