S R @ScottR 08/17/2024 A unique story of a student in Poland under communism. It takes on the issues of the party, corruption and loyalty. It was not perfect, but it was ambitious and entertaining. I am certain this had to be censored. Saw it because it was on TCM.

Witek (Boguslaw Linda) is a medical student, unsure of where life is leading him. Told in three parts, all beginning with Witek trying to catch a departing commuter train, the film's plot (and Witek's fate) hinge on the outcome of his pursuit of the train, heavily influencing his political ideologies and personal relationships. It's thought-provoking material throughout, bolstered by Linda's strong performance and an intelligent script that will have the viewer considering the random events that have influenced their own lives.

I feel like if I understood the symbols, Polish culture and history, then I would rate this higher. Also, be warned that the DVD transfer is poor and the colors are often awful. I suppose it is a testament to the film's aesthetic qualities that I still found Blind Chance a pleasure to view for them alone. See more 09/17/2015 Blind Chance is a movie that happens at you; whenever you start to feel comfortable with how everything is going and who everyone is it will quickly change up on you twisting your feelings for the main character. The base idea is about different outcomes from a single moment in someone's life. This is a very, very good film that I think that everyone needs to witness and this is not an uncommon feeling given the director being Kieslowski who seemed to create only the highest quality films.
