Cold War

Pawel Pawlikowski won the best director award at Cannes in 2018 for this sweepingly intimate love story about a star-crossed couple falling together and apart through the iron curtain of post-war Europe.  It’s inspired by (and dedicated to) his parents, whom Pawlikowski has described as “the most interesting dramatic characters I’ve ever come across … both strong, wonderful people, but as a couple a never-ending disaster”.
