Review by paulo-m-a-gominhas

The last movie of Piesiewicz's trilogy, Nadzieja (Purgatory), was directed by polish director Stanislaw Mucha, and it tells the story of a young boy, Francis, who lost his mother in childhood as a result of an accident caused by him, and is now trying to make up for it by trying to save an art dealer soul who has stolen a painting from a church.

Being written by Piesiewicz the movie does not fail to deliver a brilliant script, which is purposefully made to be seen as "thought-provoking". This mixed with the amazing direction of Stanislaw Mucha, which obviously got some inspiration out of Kieslowski's movies and a very good acting, makes up for a very much entertaining watch. Nonetheless it should be noted that apart from this characteristics the movie fails on various aspects by being unable to deliver anything but average performances and not so memorable characters, which can be detrimental to its viewing.

Regardless, this is a perfect movie for anyone who is a fan of Kieslowski's work. However it is important to note that the movie is a bit slow pace and so might not be of interest to some people.
