When first hearing the name ‘53 wars’ I thought this one is a slasher war film. I was wrong, it was more than that. Insecurity, possessiveness, solitude can cause worst carnage that is impossible for even a war to cause.
For the sake of fiction there may be slight changes here and there but even the bare canvas of this autobiographical adaptation is too much to handle for the lighthearted. This film is an adaptation of Grazyna Jagielska’s autobiography.
The first to deserve applause is Magdelena poplawska who plays Arka, the traumatized wife of a war correspondent. Almost every culture has grossly romanticized marriage and this movie is a mythbuster of that perception. This movie bluntly says ‘I’m in your heart you’re in my heart, no matter the distance…’ kind of love to take a break and handles the story aesthetically.
This films opens up to the rawness of love that is starkly opposite to the common idea. When a girl needs her husband's shoulder to lean on, she needs it and she cannot live in imagination and go to switzerland for a song with the hero!!
There is a clear study of marriage stress that has gone through the making of this film. Every layer of trauma a troubled marriage faces is defined clearly, though the running time is a mere 82 minutes.
Scene were Arka (Magdelena) ascribes a war victim's story to herself to arouse pity, we were all reminded of our moments of sympathy seeking.
Music played an indispensable part without which each stage of separation would’ve fallen flat.
Though the movie talks of 53 wars we aren't shown even one but only the effects of it in a place that is unrelated to the war, Arka’s head.
When I had to give it a genre, i couldn't go with a thriller or a psychological thriller but a love story. As love in this movie, i think in the first time of my movie watching experiences have overcome real issues to make it a success and not some hefty rowdies.
