Hey, Lynch meet Bergman! What a strange assortment of delicious characters and scenes beautifully framed and filmed! There is much to marvel about in this haunting film by the Polish brothers, but I suspect most viewers (myself included) will cry out for some "color"--since the entire film is a monochromatic straight line, extremely well done, but sagging, as it forgets about joy, color, and humor. The four angels are wonderful but could have been cast with much greater humor and passion. Actual shots of bright color would have been welcomed. The transition between life and death in this film is just too dreary and solemn.
