Tom Tykwer gives Krzysztof Kiesłowski a voice from the dead. Kiesłowski's script follows the unlikely love affair between an idealistic woman bomber and the young second-generation cop who helps her escape from jail. They bring each other different kinds of salvation. A pattern of striking aerial visuals points to the characters' transcendence of both mundane laws and the rhetoric of melodrama. This rich film surely is All That Kiesłowski's Heaven Allows.
