The radical concision of Paweł Pawlikowski
Storytelling economy can be in short supply at the movies. But Paweł Pawlikowski has made a career out of a concision that now seems almost radical. His last three films — “Ida,” “Cold War” and his latest, “Fatherland” — are all 90 minutes or less. Each is shot in black and white, in a boxy academy ratio. And none has a single ounce of fat on it. In an era where three-hour movies are commonplace, the 69-year-old Polish filmmaker has refined a style of less is more.
His movies are brief but unhurried, lean yet profound. “Fatherland,” starring Sandra Hüller, opens in select theaters Friday.
