Synopsis:

A passionate love story between two people of different backgrounds and temperaments, who are fatally mismatched and yet fatefully condemned to each other. Set against the background of the Cold War in the 1950s in Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia and Paris, the film depicts an impossible love story in impossible times.

Thoughts:

Even thought it’s only May, I think I can say COLD WAR will be my ‘Favourite Film of the Year’.

A powerful and emotional rollercoaster ride, with incredible cinematography, editing and music. This tragic love story has it all.

Captivating from the very first scene to the very end, the film gave me goosebumps on more than one occasion.

Rating:

9.5/10
