I was quite surprised by this film. I was wary to begin with as it was directed by the same guy who did Ghost In The Shell, which I didn't like (mainly because it was manga) and seeing as this was his first 'live action' film I was a bit suspicious as to whether it would amount to much. Plus add in the story line which didn't help but I thought I'd watch it just to see.

Well I have to say, I was impressed. A bit confused as to why it was in Polish but impressed none the less. Given the concept it could have gone quite wrong but it turned out really well, the acting wasn't too bad and I loved how it gave me the impression of the past and then future, separately and together.
I'm seriously contemplating adding this to my DVD collection.

Rating : 8/10
