Babel (2006)
irranitu good as ever
It isn't a film for people longing to see a perfect puzzle solved, or the people who want to see all the stories joining in the end i none miraculous happy end. They are just a few stories showing that people are alone in life, its hard to reach out to another human being and the fact that the film has only some recurrent themes: e.g. guns only makes the feeling of loneliness more intense. This film is realistic to the extent a good film can allow itself to be. It's realism is not concerned with the probability of the stories (altough how can you persuade someone that these histories did not take place)? But rather with 100% realism of peoples lives, reactions, problems, and even clothes and the settings. Its real power lies in the fact (as Irranitu has it) that it asks important questions- from those most essential like: is there God or everything is just a series of unfortunate or happy coincidences? To those more down to earth- would I do so much to be at my son's wedding? How would I react in such a stressful situation? I love this film also for the discreet satire on the American way of life and their 'immigration policy': isn't the character played by Brad Pitt in a situation of similar to this of a Mexican immigrant in the great USA - helpless, forsaken and yet those people from the 'third world' help him as much as they can. And just for the record: it isn't the best performance from Brad, try to think that his character is played by some unknown European actor and think what would it change? Nothing? Exactly.
Pociag (1959)
a masterpiece of psychological drama
The film beautifully depicts the reality of trains, possibly not only those running in Poland but also all over the world. The claustrophobic atmosphere of the train brings people together and lets the viewers plunge into the story and its rhythm. Beautiful black and white pictures and melancholic jazz theme bring to mind other films form the era. What makes the film even more attractive is the final turning point and sudden change in the behavior of the passengers. The only regretful fact is that such intimate,subtle films are not made anymore. Great pity.If it was made in English by lets say Orson Welles it would have been a cult movie for sure all over the world just as it is in Poland.
