Spotlight Selection / Director: Urszula Antoniak

Code Blue

Antoniak builds the film on a bold performance from de Moor, shooting her protagonist from a clinical distance while favoring precise, often symmetrical shots that mirror the cold and orderly mind of Marian. But the power of the film, it's ability to unsettle, comes not from the clinical distance but from its grounding in Marian's buried emotions, in the notion that a basic need for contact can drive a person to disturbing depths.

 

What initially appears to be an emotional coldness is eventually exposed as utter desperation for contact of any sort and the contact that comes is a bitter statement on the heartless nature of humanity.
