Positives:
- Krzysztof Kieslowski gets into the big picture with this poignant narration of a delicate storyline. Never does it get voyeuristic and that's the beauty of this creation.
- Olaf Lubaszenko as Tomek shines with expressions of love,anxiety,fear and guilt and Grazyna Szapolowska who plays the lady spied on superbly.
- The side characters - the boy's mother etc. leave a lasting impression too.
- Accolades again to the camera work and music.
A loud 'Hello, Here I am' to the cine world from Kieslowski with this poignant tale!
