Wonderful documentary


This short film by Krzysztof Kieslowski, featured as a bonus on "Camera Buff," gets more fascinating the longer it goes one, as the subjects become older and have more insight into what they want the world to be. The final image and comments of the 100-year-old woman are priceless!

By saying what they want the world to be they basically say what the world is to them, and the older they get the more pessimistic they seem to be. That scared the hell out of me.

Language! The thing that means stuff.

Certainly they became hardened with age, but I guess that's what it takes to survive.

You're right, but I do think the last interview is an uplifting redemption of all the pessimism.

This is true. It certainly ends on an upbeat note. We should all be so lucky to make it that far and cast our cynicism aside.

reply

Extremely fascinating. Absolutely superb.
