[REVIEW] movie Cold War (Cold War) 2018
Paweł Pawlikowski's 2018 film Cold War (Cold War) is a painful yet beautiful and emotional love song. The plot is inspired by the Polish writer and director himself, inspired by his parents' love story.
Cold War is like the childhood memories created from the shortest, most romantic, sad and beautiful music that Pawlikowski pieced together to send to his parents and perhaps to send his own obsession and only The relentless urge of the Polish kid inside him.
The film lasted for 15 years, starting in 1949. The film tells a love story framed in 4: 3, giving stories about people rather than landscapes, connections and co-stars. The sense of character is increased, which is followed by a sense of mystery and invisible cramp.
The aftermath of the war, the political features, and the national boundaries all create a great backdrop to build the two protagonists in depth. Wiktor Warski didn't say much about himself, he was silent at the request that the troupe sing songs honoring the communists, accepting the fact that music in Poland was a tool for politics, he took advantage of The party went to France and dragged Zula with her but because she could not trust herself at the time, she refused. Zula has a complex personality trait in love, deep down she has no confidence in herself, and it is this lack of confidence that shows she has never loved herself. It is clear that her love of investing in Wiktor is toxic and predictive of long suffering.

Two artists, Zula, from a girl who had just been released from prison for murdering her father, suddenly became a famous singer in Poland, Wiktor selected the life of an exiled musician in France. They love each other in Poland, reunited in Paris but because of unbearable exile, Zula jealous and made love more disturbing.
She tried not to be inferior when she did not understand the metaphor of the poet who was a former lover of Wiktor in the translation of her song. While Wiktor is simply in love with her, he accepts her disorder. Zula eventually returned and Wiktor was willing to serve a 15-year sentence to return to Poland with the woman of his life.
Both Wiktor and Zula in the Cold War brought with them both personal chaos mixed with era chaos. Deep down in both there is an indescribable loss of origin despite the film actually telling about a repatriation. Wiktor is both an exile in France and a traitor in Poland, he is certainly non-existent for most people, an invisible man in the midst of turmoil, even though he says he loves Poland, But maybe it's another Polish.
As for Zula, the first song when she sang solo in the qualifier in front of Wiktor was a song she learned from a Russian film, only the rare moments when she stood on stage performing “Two hearts, four children. eyes ”is when she seems to be herself in a sad love story, a tragedy bound to fate and it seems that the strange emptiness inside her makes her fall in love while She was never ready with it.

Like the way Zula asked Wiktor: "Who will you become if you're in France?" But maybe that should be the question no matter where she is, because even though it's in Poland where Zula can get Wiktor out of prison only five years later, all she needs is Wiktor (and he knowing that she needed it) was his appearance to pull her out of this present life.
They returned to Poland as if they were never ready to leave, a long journey to lead them back to the land devastated both outside and inside. In a church heavily damaged by bombs, the roof of the church was swept away, everything remains like a well where people at the bottom of the well look straight to the narrow and round sky. They married in the ruins, took the white medicine and left, perhaps, in preparation for a long sleep in the beautiful scenery forever after that.
