Sinekatalog’s take

A young man becomes obsessed with an older neighbour he suspects of being a notorious killer in 1960s Kraków. Slow-burning paranoia and moody period detail drive it. A worthwhile, atmospheric thriller for patient viewers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
