- Which one was hiding; me or this film - or even both? What exactly was I watching in the 90's? A great film. Atmosphere, sceneries, tensions, narrative, drama. Impressive background music, especially piano-parts slightly closer to final scenes. "The Wife" was particularly good in acting - even surpassing the theatrical level in general, imo. Despite of the tragedy, the "daughter" was so sweet and "coy". More brainy film into which Mr. Sutherland fitted well. There was a sense of certain authenticity, some "real touch" here. The narration was not too fast, which spoils too many western movies. One has to have time to "absorb", to think - somehow identify with the main characters in the film like this. Here it succeeds. Thank you! -

It's funny to see this film set in Poland during the Cold War period where the protagonist, a disgraced communist leader, is subjected to what might be called clumsy state surveillance and reflects on this anomaly that has turned against him. Today billions of people in all countries (including supposedly democratic ones) are or can be monitored in real time with the help of smartphones connected to the Internet capable of providing geolocation data and being transformed into microphones and spy cameras without the owners knowing, but everyone thinks this is normal. Unperceived oppression is obviously much more destructive than that which is perceived. The West won the Cold War, but the total control paranoia typical of authoritarian eastern European states in the 1970s prevails worldwide.

Intrigue , good script and subtleties and it has some truth about as based in pre glasnost Poland , look it up interesting both the film and real life. Title means items or power that can be removed for good of the country possibly with reparations , confusing as he is allowed back into the politburo. Donald Sutherland provides that air of superiority but also knowing his place in the game that ultimately out wits his boss. Good film.

"There is a lot of insider detail in Krakowski's screenplay, especially concerning the ways the top Politburo members form a sort of court, fawning upon the top man and currying favor. The film's weakness, however, is to graft this factual information about a bureaucratic nightmare onto an ending that could have belonged to any number of thrillers. The last scenes are contrived and less than convincing, and the focus moves from sharply seen details of everyday life inside the Polish party apparatus to sloppy thriller elements that could have come from anywhere." (Roger Ebert)

This kind of short-sighted wholesale discontent is what is eroding democracy, which needs responsible citizens to support and sustain it not grumpy finicky customer-minded beneficiaries.
