Numa sala perto de mim #386

Cold War (2018) has a great premise: a love story during the Cold War when one of the elements of the couple defects. Then the story line follows with several twists some of which are less than convincing in a love story, but are probably more so in a sick obsession. Maybe I just have a problem with Pawlikowski's movies, which I find great in expectation but slightly disappointing ex-post.

Still, I liked the movie for plenty reasons: the original musical tune is cleverly transported through various styles, it is a very believable portrait of life in oppressive regimes, it provides a good illustration of the propaganda machine in autocracies. Overall, I find it remarkable that a single movie includes both The Internationale and Rock Around the Clock... kudos to that!
