Overview
Polish immigrant Karol Karol finds himself out of a marriage, a job and a country when his French wife, Dominique, divorces him after six months due to his impotence. Forced to leave France after losing the business they jointly owned, Karol enlists fellow Polish expatriate Mikolah to smuggle him back to their homeland.
I think one of the drawbacks of being an American movie viewer is that we are used to a certain kind of pacing. In this film the director has a very deliberate pace and while the film never drags there is certainly a slow build. In a way it reminds me of Better Call Saul. The genius of this film is the final scene. With one final stroke the entire film is given a different texture and meaning. Where there seemed like not much was going on there was actually a lot going on. I loved it and I loved thinking about it after it ended.
