► Festival de Cannes 1987
In Communist Poland, Witek, a medical student, runs to catch a train to Warsaw. From this single moment, three distinct versions of his future unfold, each shaped by whether he manages to board the train or whether he misses it.
« Asks to be read for both its political and its philosophical implications. Kieślowski appears to propose that even in the divisive, paranoid atmosphere of late Communist Poland, a retreat from politics is not the answer. The echo chamber of unhappy endings amounts to a howl of no-win pessimism. But Kieślowski was a pessimistic humanist; his despair over humanity coexisted with a stubborn faith in it. » (Criterion Collection)
« The indelible fulcrum of Kieslowski’s career as a documentarian and his blossoming as a major arthouse auteur. » (Slant Magazine).
« One of Krzysztof's best films, perhaps even the best and the most original. » (Agnieszka Holland)
