Review of Blind Chance (1987) by Patryk C — 27 Sep 2012
Blind Chance proves to be a enlightening, in-depth analysis of determinism and its basic assumptions. Without a doubt, it makes the viewer think about the possibilities of fate guiding our lives, and whether our choices are actually ours or just blind chances, on which we don't really have any influence.
Witek is a medical student who just lost his father. After speaking with him for the last time, he decides to leave Lodz and move to Warsaw. Three different variations appear on screen, showing how Witek's action (catching the train, not catching it) determine his future.
Very engaging, clever, profound, with a great performance by young Boguslaw Linda. Kieslowski shows his indisputable talent, by showing the psychological evaluation of a man in correspondence to broader metaphysical divagations.
