"Refren" is a Polish 11-minute short film from 1972, so this one will have its 45th anniversary next year. It is one of the black-and-white short films Kieslowski made relatively early in his career. And bureaucracy is a subject again as well. Kieslowski must have found it really interesting I guess. I personally don't though. it was really bland and uninteresting and these documentary-style film the late Polish director made early are not to my liking at all. Admittedly, he was still practicing, but here he had already made films for over five years and I cannot see any real progress since when he started sadly. That's why I give "Refrain" a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
