   Rose (or Róza) is a Polish film about a former soldier helping a woman survive in war-torn, post-WWII Poland, in a region formerly part of the German Empire. As such, its inhabitants are treated badly by the Poles and Soviets both, and the film is incredibly bleak and brutal, with about a dozen rapes shown (take them as horrible slice of life or metaphor for what's being done to the region) along with other crimes against humanity. Somehow, there are still moments of fleeting hope that some critics have called romantic, and I think rightly so. It portrays an engaging, if tragic, relationship, based on sympathy and compassion rather than passion. Obviously, I'm not equipped to completely grasp the political and cultural importance Róza has in Poland (where it is a multiple-award winner), but a quick visit to Wikipedia to find out about the Masurian region was more than enough to situate me, though it works with no real knowledge, as the same wicked lawlessness no doubt exists in every war-torn country, to this day. 6 years 4 months ago
