  Compelling, beautiful, affecting. Krzysztof Kieslowski's difficult and resonant meditation on all the effects that love has (guilt, manipulation, shame, remorse ect.). The cinematography is typically expressive and the performances are typically gut wrenching. Kieslowski never ceased to move his audiences in the most unique and unexpected ways.

  Kieslowski crafts voyeuristic obsession into a visceral odyssey, illustrating that a flame can indeed be drawn to a moth.

  Emo-Kieslowski goes DePalma in this creepy sexy voyeuristic character study

  A well-acted, sensitively directed film, but it's hard to get past the unlikelihood of a woman being actually *touched* by her stalker's obsession. Additional note: I really don't agree with the AllMovie synopsis posted above. Tomek knew Magda "spread it around" from the beginning, so her belief in empty sex wasn't particularly shattering for him. I'd say his suicide attempt was more about shame -- being so unable to connect with others that he couldn't physically couple with the woman when she finally offered herself. Saying he "tries to forget her" doesn't ring true either, nor do the "amazed" or "hopelessly infatuated" descriptions. Did the reviewer even see the film?

  A bleak, depressing look at obsession, love and loneliness, from director Krzystof Kieslowksi (The <i>Three Colours</i> trilogy). A 19 year old teenager steals a telescope and spies on a woman living in a flat opposite, steals her mail, calls her on the phone and hangs up, and delivers her milk. When he confesses to her about what he's been doing, things take an unexpected turn. A very powerful and (after the first ten minutes) gripping film, but one that I have no desire to watch again in a hurry.
