A beautiful film... if you have the patience for it., 11 October 2004
10/10
Author: Dominika Zola (dominika_zola) from Gdynia, Poland

I saw Sandcastles ('Zamki z piasku') at a private screening sponsored by Apple Computers, in Klub Ucho – as part of the 29th Gdynia Film Festival. The director was present. Before the screening he asked for our patience, saying that we'll get as much from the movie as we put into it. A month later, I'm still thinking about this movie... so, I guess, I put in a good amount. It's a very, very slow moving film, but that forces us to think about what we are looking at (symbols and situations, or a man with a black cat on an deserted beach!) and it works with our memory. In fact, that's fitting, because the film is all about time and memory... and so many other things: like the big bang and Einstein's theories, existentialism vs. theology, conscious vs. unconscious, real vs. imagined. It is about so many things, and it raises so many questions that, at one point, I did not think it would be able to bring all these things together. It did, although in a very surreal way. Still, I walked out of the viewing not knowing what to make of it but, over time, I have grown very fond of it. It has grown in my memory. Excellent script, nice pictures, beautiful music. All together, a beautiful film... if you have the patience for it. 10 out of 10.
