An escapee of a Polish concentration camp hides out with a childless couple in his old Czech neighborhood -- a serious comedy, quite spiritual at the end, but with an insubstantial, unstable image. For moments of special intensity, the movie employs an odd, skipping, skidding kind of motion, mildly hallucinogenic. Otherwise you might never know how intense they were. Directed by Jan Hrebejk. (2000) — Duncan Shepherd
