Review of Kes

Kes (1969)
8/10
Honest, painful yet so much fun!

My Rating : 8/10

Krzysztof Kieslowski named 'Kes' as one of the films that affected him most as a cinema-goer and so I had to take the plunge and I wasn't disappointed. It's a laughter-riot steeped in oodles of tragedy. Equal parts primitive and intelligent, 'Kes' is full of life and the atmosphere of the film is very upbeat and practical.

While I do not like to see the main character in such conflicting situations at such a young age, it is a straight-up, rough around the edges look at the reality of his life. Utterly relatable and a very well-made film too.

Small, significant and sublime. Clicks tongue.
