Review: "It is generally believed that a short film with glimpses of unrequited love is an oddity.Kieslowski proves that such is not the case with his protagonists as a sensible winner can do everything in order to make things work for him.Leave us,play your silly tricks elsewhere.This is the one of the most pertinent message which can be deduced from Krzysztof Kieslowski's short film "Koncert Zyczen".It is much more than a simple boy takes his girl on a picnic story.Kieslowski shows us that betrayal can happen at an early stage in case of two people's relationships.He asks an important question:What should be important to a man ? His girl's companionship or some obscure identity card ? There are a lot of irresponsible young people in this film yet Kieslowski is in no mood to mock them.He is rather willing to show them as they are with all their strengths and weaknesses.Like young people from other countries,Kieslowski suggests that even young people from Poland have a penchant for music,carefree life,fun and frolic.This is the best non political,non ideological message of this film.
