Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): This non-nominated Oscar submission for Best International Feature Film had a lot of support early in the process, but that’s not really enough to make it look better. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Film version of Jerzy Kosinki’s 1965 controversial novel looks compelling. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The Poles have made some beautifully shot black-and-white films and this may be another good one, but the trailer does not do enough to entice the viewer to want to see the whole film.
