FILM REVIEW
‘Smoke’ — the story of the person who became the captive of surrealistic madness
By Allan R. Ellenberger
If you’re interested in something different, check out Smoke, a 2007 short film by Polish filmmaker, Grzegorz Cisiecki. Its seven-plus minutes unfold with no dialogue using images to tell an indefinable tale about a young man remembering—but remembering what, we are not sure.
Told in a surrealistic dream-like approach, the influence of David Lynch and Kubrick are evident throughout. Cisiecki’s moody and symbolic direction, enhanced by the exceptional cinematography of Dawid Rymar, makes Smoke a must-see for any discerning film enthusiast. Looking forward to the future work of this writer-director.
