(Z punktu widzenia nocnego portiera)

With considerable economy and grace, Kieslowski's early short elucidates the workings of the Communist system by airing the views of a paranoid and misanthropic night porter whose favourite pastime is the control of others.

Andreas Horvath
Austria, 2006, 38 mins
Views of a Retired Night Porter revisits the subject of Kieslowski’s 1977 short film A Night Porter’s Point of View, now thirty years on and after so much has changed in Poland.
