Director - Krzysztof Kieslowski
When Witek’s father dies he quits medical school and we witness three versions of his life play out, one after the other. Kieslowski’s masterpiece about possible futures, fate and chance was suppressed by the Polish government and didn’t receive a cinematic release until 1987, and even then it was heavily edited. Extremely good, highly recommended especially for anyone who liked the concept of Sliding Doors but not the actual film.
Director - Michael Mann
Mann’s debut big screen feature still manages to pack a neon-reflected-in-rain-soaked-streets-to-a-throbbing-electronic-soundtrack punch. Mann takes the downbeat '70s crime guy and drags him kicking and screaming into the '80s. James Cann stars as the diamond thief out to do one last heist, and is perfect in the role. Themes that are touched on in this film show up again and again in most of Mann’s future films, with Heat being the ultimate culmination of that. W O N D E R F U L.
