3.0 out of 5 stars Signs of the genius Kieslowski was to become are not too evident
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2018
Very early Kieslowski. Interesting topic and welcome insight into Polish culture during the 70s, but signs of the genius Kieslowski was to become are not too evident. The film is far too wordy. In his later films, Kieslowski let the camera do the talking. I'm glad I watched it, though. If nothing else, it served as a reference point for quite how great his later films were.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lost Kieslowski
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2004
"The Scar" (1976) was Krzysztof Kieslowski's first feature, made as he decided to abandon documentaries for less risky fiction. Veteran Polish actor Franciszek Pieczka plays "an honest man in the system" charged by the party with building a fertilizer plant in a rural town. Kieslowski reportedly considered "The Scar" a failure -- despite Pieczka's fine work, the elegant script and the telling cinematography of Slawomir Idziak ("Black Hawk Down"). Kieslowski's art "was not yet metaphysical," longtime soundman Michal Zarnecki says in one of the extras interviews. The color images (full frame, enhanced for widescreen TVs) and sound are adequate. Subtitles are clear. This is one of four recent additions to Kino's Kieslowski collection -- along with "No End," "Camera Buff" and "Blind Chance" -- all of which show that the Polish master's writing and directing skills arrived almost fully formed when he turned to feature films. Each of the films benefits from a powerful central performance. They are products of the 1970s and '80s, a time of vast sociopolitical changes in Poland, but are not timepieces or simplistic attacks on the communists. Highly recommended despite the director's reservations.
