COLD WAR

Pawel Pawlikowski who won the Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film with his former film Ida, returns with another film with several awards. Set against the backdrop of the ruinous post-war Poland, Wiktor has been appointed as the art director of the dance and music collective with a mission to rejuvenate the country’s folklore. Wiktor falls in love with Zula, her voice and the light she emanates during the try-outs. Cold War portrays the passionate and melancholic love affair between these two musicians. Shot in black and white, this minimalist film is also striking with its musical variety from jazz to folk music.
