Cold War

During the period of the construction of Stalinist Poland, but also of modern Western Europe, the story of the great fateful love of singer Zula and composer Wiktor takes place. They cannot live together, but at the same time they are fatally attracted to each other and cannot stand being without each other. Against the backdrop of Warsaw, Berlin and Paris, jazz and folk music sound, and Zula and Wiktor play out a beautiful but bitter ballad, their own Cold War. With this Kundera-style love epic, Pawel Pawlikowski follows up on the success of the Oscar-winning Ida. For his work, full of electrifying music and visual beauty, he was awarded the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
