"What counts on bridge is memory. … And mine is excellent."

"While Kieślowski dips into various interconnecting lives, the central drama is the electrifying encounter between Valentine — caring, troubled — and the judge, whose tendency to play God fails to match, initially, the girl's compassion. It's a film about destiny and chance, solitude and communication, cynicism and faith, doubt and desire; about lives affected by forces beyond rationalization. The assured direction avoids woolly mysticism by using material resources — actors, color, movement, composition, sound — to illuminate abstract concepts. Stunningly beautiful, powerfully scored and immaculately performed, the film is virtually flawless, and one of the very greatest cinematic achievements of the last few decades. A masterpiece."
