Through and Through

Director Andrzej Trzaskowski constructs the narrative like a court record, stripping away melodrama and psychological justification. His approach is one of chronicle-like detachment, where evil lacks pathos and exists as a mundane detail.

What lingers after viewing is the weight of an unresolved question about the nature of crime outside ideological frameworks. The film acts as a cold shower, sobering any romantic notions about violence. — MovieFinder Editorial
