Bandyta (1997)
9/10
Great.
2 November 2020
I watched this one on inferior quality streaming in a small window format where I mostly relied on the subtitles to get the dialogues but the tremendous music was well audible. So, my impression about the movie is not at at all based on the quality of dialogues. Nor is it based on the quality of the actors' play or their workshop. As for the most of the movies I watch my rating is based on how and what I feel just before the end titles appear. For this one, I was sitting silently for a longer time even after the end titles finished... deeply moved. Very sad and at the same time very happy to have watched it. And again, the music...

I did not care that the characters were 2D, dialogues flat and the languages did not hang together (german-english, romanian by Polish actors, etc...). There are tons of movies that are perfectly acted, where all the dialogues are coherent, deep and meaningful, and characters are multidimensional. I forget about most of those the day after. This is one of the very few movies that I keep thinking about days and weeks after having watched them.
