No End

K. Kieslowski Poland

Enigmatic, uninvolving film. A 30ish lawyer dies...this film deals with how his wife copes. She gets involved with a political case he was handling...this took place during the Solidarity uprisings. Although their marriage was rocky she appears to be deeply shaken to realize too late how good she had it. After frabbing around for two hours she leaves her 8 year old son with her mother, goes home and sticks her head in the oven.

Some scenes were strikingly framed and lit but the tone became exasperating after a while and by the end I couldn't wait for it to end. KK has been called a master, and sometimes he was...just not this time.
