an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Karwowski's "Listopad" (screening as "November" at the 92 SFFF) was a slow journey into the mind of a disturbed woman with some beautiful scenery along the way. At the conclusion of the screening, one overly academic viewer asked a rambling question of Karwowski detailing the significance of water in the film (presumably regarding a scene in which a bathtub overflows while the central character is immersed in it and the water is still running). The charming Karwowski's answer was "I think I just liked water." The film, overall, is visually engaging enough to distract you from certain weaknesses in the tale itself, and I'm surprised that I haven't seen other works by the gifted young director.
