Review of Cold War (2018) by Dawdlingpoet — 24 Nov 2021

This is certainly a very arty film - a black and white film mainly focussing on Polish culture linked with German culture and with a lot of Polish folk music and singing present. The singing is certainly good and the performances decent.

While the film is about what could be called an unfortunate romance (mismatched people), I can't honestly say I found it an especially romantic type of a film as such. The fact it's filmed in black and white adds to the overall bleak feeling it has.

It's an interesting film but quite slow in terms of plot. I thought this felt like a good film but it isn't entirely memorable or great, so I'd give it this rating (7 out of 10). If your particularly keen on arty type world cinema films then I'd recommend it, otherwise not so much.
