A passionate love story between two people of different backgrounds and temperaments, who are fatefully mismatched, set against the background of the Cold War in the 1950s in Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia and Paris.
Directed by Pawel Pawlikowski, who won the Best Director award at Cannes. Written by Pawel Pawlikowski, Janusz Glowacki and Piotr Borkowski.
Starring Joanna Kulig, Tomasz Kot, Borys Szyc, Agata Kulesza and Cédric Kahn. Cinematography by Lukasz Zal (Ida).
It's good. But much like Ida, it's great visually but the story suffers. Their love story is pretty unremarkable. The ending does punch a gruesome poetic punch, though.
Just got back. This was terrific, such a beautiful film. I loved the directing, cinematography and the music. Kot and especially Kulig are fantastic in their lead roles. I think this is one of this year's best films. I hope it can nab a Best Film in Foreign Language nomination, if not win, at the Oscars.

it's great but it's an insane category this year. burning, shoplifters, ofc Roma, etc
Would be fun if Roma enters Best Picture race and not only Best Film in Foreign Language. From what we hear, I think it'll instantly win Foreign Language when nominated for that.
