I suspect that the story of how No End came to be made, and of how it speaks to Polish audiences, would be of as much interest to American audiences as the film itself.

This 1984 feature by the remarkable Krzysztof Kieslowski has been described as his most explicitly political.

No End functions both as a compliment and a precursor to the director's most lasting works.
