I often attend conferences exploring the links between movies and Christian theology. On one of these conferences recently, someone showed an excerpt from this film and recommended it.
I must say that it is a stunning film - with many surprising twists and turns. The acting is very good and if you don't mind sub-titles, then this really is a good watch. This film explores themes of revenge, justice, guilt, compassion and perhaps offers a different definition of heaven. I'll leave you to judge that for yourself.
It is the first in a trilogy (including Hell and Purgatory) penned and conceptualised by Krystof Kieslowski - he also has the notable Trois Couleurs trilogy and the Dekalog series to his name.
Would highly rate this - I'll give it 7.5/10.
