Frida Cinema Film Club members are invited to a treat for the senses as we present Krzysztof Kieślowski’s radical exploration of fate, Blind Chance!
The story revolves around Witek, a young medical student disillusioned after the death of his father. At a train station, he runs to catch a train—and in a sudden narrative split, the film shows three divergent versions of Witek’s life, each depending on whether he catches the train, misses it, or is stopped by a guard.
Shot in 1981 but shelved by censors until 1987, the film resonates as both a deeply personal reflection and a subtle political critique.
