Just back from Cold War at the Rich Mix – an amazingly intense depiction of the state of the arts in Poland under Soviet domination, full of fake folk ethnicity, and of the difference between the free world (France) and Soviet control in Poland, all filmed in black-and-white, which catches the era (and aura). Highly recommended.

We loved it too. And my daughter claims that it counts as revision for both her A Level Music course and A Level History! If you haven’t already seen it Pawlikowski’s earlier movie Ida is very fine too.

Definitely history. Gives such a clear view of cold war cultural politics. Charles
