So lovely. Donald Sutherland and Anne Archer lead an intense cast in a rewarding suspense laden Bloc thriller, watch till the end, or die in Gulag. Thanks very much for uploading this movie!
Really engaging movie, Sutherland finding himself in an almost Kafkaesque scenario, he and Archer are excellent. Good to see Paul Freeman in a good role.
- 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! -
Another great Donald Sutherland film... you seem to be a fan, may I request an upload of Eye of the Needle? I have very good memories of it and would love another look.
No one is like Donald Sutherland: he is mesmerising! 'Don't Look Now' and countless other perfect performances under his belt! When he displays love for a woman, it is utterly credible and like a prayer....
That's strange as much as i remember i have never watched the movie. It is strange to watch it here in Switzerland...with my whole memory and story. That was great that people were intersted in Poland's history.
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.
it might have been a well made film though I detect a certain critique of Russia which most people mistakenly equate with the former USSR. That said the film is outdated exactly for the reasons you describe. We can all be spyed upon whenever "they" choose in all countries of the world.
@@barnsdalemartin5469 Yep. I forgot to say something important: at the end of the film the protagonist manages to deceive the surveillance and escape from Poland. Now there is nowhere to run or hide.
To all who believe Big Brother is the same anywhere, go try and live in Putin’s Russia, you will feel there’s a tiny difference left in how the collected information is used and what the consequences are. Go try….
Some scenes evokes me so much tough memories about the DARK hours of my country....during last years of comunist dictatorship...I CAN SAY ROMANIA SUFFERED VERY MUCH DURING THOSE YEARS... MAYBE MORE THAN OTHER " SISTER COUNTRIES"....

The Best way to keep your enemies UNDER control is to give them a very important position to have better control upon him... Basic rule in a dictatorship...
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.

At last a movie which held my interest throughout. Donald Sutherland a real actor true to his craft head & shoulders above. Thank you.

Well done you! 🎉

This film is a gem .. the era the plot the set the cars the music their costumes and above all the cast !!! Thank you for this
This is a great movie with great performances by all actors. It very subtly depicts the terror the people of Poland lived in during those days.
Just when life couldn't get much lower for me spiritually a great film pops up on YT that I never new existed. Thanks.
Myself same. This time of the year is really hard for me. Thank god it’s a nice film.
Really engaging movie, Sutherland finding himself in an almost Kafkaesque scenario, he and Archer are excellent. Good to see Paul Freeman in a good role.
Excellent film. Donald Sutherland is a fine and brilliant actor, believable in every role.
Thank you for uploading this movie. A very interesting story as well as competent actors.

Good one, worth to watch. Nice Sutherland's acting. He ate the bait and shit on the hook.
Donald Sotherland and cast excellent. Film interesting plot . Sound though is appalling, volume up and down like a yoyo. Thanks. Dave

Excellent. Throughout history, too many good, ordinary people have been willing to lie for their paychecks.
Would that make them good liars ?

awesome movie enjoyed thnx
really wonderful❤

American movie set in Poland ? 1979.....wow.
Was this movie really made in Poland.....interesting soundtrack.
Wikipedia claims that the movie was a France/Canada/Israel co-production. So no, no an American movie. Too much to hope for, I suppose.

plus great sound!
well done!
Feels true (though who remembers anything about Lech Walesa anymore, save his moustache?) I preferred Don Sutherland in STEELYARD BLUES.
Excellent
Engrossing till the end. 👍
Good movie.

Nice touch at 1h 7min...the taxi driver....with now broken arms.
Sadly Donald Sutherland is no longer with us.
An excellent movie but unfortunately that equates to an advert every 5 minutes.
Why do they always leave the best bits out ? The faces of the decrepit Polit bureau Chief would have been priceless.
Because we, the viewer, can imagine it so much better...Let the audience work!
Top class Donald Sutherland Intellectually stimulating movie.🏆🎓
Life's a bitch in a workers paradise.
Donald Sutherland is always fairly good. In today's climate, I find this hard to watch. I'll try and finish it despite the sentiment.
Indeed.. " WHO OWN THIS COUNTRY"!? A legitimate question back then...
And now applicable in America.
@@aleccullen2696. And the UK and EU. We are all owned by the WEF now.
