   Watched this film on the Criterion blu-ray. It's so gorgeous. I ended up dreaming about it all night. Kieslowski has a wonderful style. 8 years 2 months ago

   More Run Lola Run than Sliding Doors despite the train element, Krzysztof Kieślowski's Blind Chance introduces us to Witek through flashes of memory that will become important, then, at a crossroads in his life, has him catch a train at the last minute, or not. From this quantum moment unfurls three possible lives. In each, he meets someone from his past who becomes important to his future. And in each, the Party is sure to screw him over. The film is a very human story (or three), but also a complete and very bitter take-down of the Polish regime, at least in the late 70s (therefore banned when it came out in '81, and only released with censors in place in '87 - the Criterion Edition restores Kieślowski's original vision). I won't pretend to know anything about the then-current events depicted in the film, but we're living through a patch now that impacts everyone, no matter the path they end up taking, so we can at least relate. 2 years 4 months ago
