Is this a meditation on the two forms of love from Kieślowski's series on the Ten Commandments? Well, if you enjoy it. There are more problematic levels, for example, the parallel with Rear Window - I wonder why? Then, of course, are the interpretations of the motivations of the individual characters, whether the love brought about and forced by the suicide attempt has any value at all. There’s no satisfactory result and instead just the establishment of banality from the landscape of adolescence. Is it necessary to feel guilty if one does not love the one who would wish it? It is not necessary to go into this problem in depth on the basis of a biblical series.

First encounter with Kieslowski and love for life. A film that does not approach perfection, but far exceeds it in its formal construction and emotional impact. It's hard to say what fascinates me more, the deep ideas and natural characters or the system of the work itself, which, thanks to the inventive development of the motif of voyeurism, is among the best that a slightly analytical viewer could wish for. The actors, the music and the cinematography are excellent, pure cinephile ecstasy from about halfway through. Grazyna Szapolowska is a neighbour that anyone would spy :)
