Sofia’s review published on Letterboxd:
who are you? what do you most wish for? what do you fear?
the evolving and unfurling sense of self, the initially unresponsive, curious wide eyed stare of a child not yet accustomed to their own voice, to the half realised dreams and fantasies of adolescents, self negation and cynicism warring with hope, striving for union, egoism and self interest, sense of being bound in time and in being, the radical strivings of a revolutionary, or simply of a person longing for change— here we see the swelling sense of political unrest in post war poland, the fear, the desire to live unaffected by this, desire for freedom, for recognition. seeing your self as your role in the world, seeing your self as situated physically, tied to embodiment, the self as static, unchanging, the self as a continuation of half abandoned dreams, of the evolution of those dreams, the restructuring, the realisation.
i’d like to live in a real world, not one of fiction and facades.
we are all our dreams, our desires, we are beyond this physical vessel, if only we could see the inside of minds, how strange and terrifying, but how illuminating, perhaps then we would engage, reflect, love, or perhaps we would cease to, i don’t know.
(i’d love for people to comment their own answers to these questions: who are you, what do you wish for most, what do you fear— the initial answer you’d instinctively give, with little thought and reflection, or with more, i don’t mind.)
