Beschreibung: Eine Krähe ist ein lärmender, ungeliebter Vogel und ein passender Spitzname für die Hauptfigur in Dorota Kedzierzawskas Krähen – ein 9-jähriges Mädchen, das alle oben genannten Eigenschaften besitzt (obwohl die ersten beiden es könnten das Ergebnis des dritten sein). Dieser kurze und einfache Film ist nicht nur in seiner emotional ehrlichen Geschichte schön, sondern auch in seiner Kinematographie, die einen internationalen Preis gewonnen hat. Crows is about the basic human need for companionship and love, and echoes the age-old theme that no person is an island. The Crow (as the protagonist is referred to) is routinely scorned by her schoolmates and ignored by a mother who's always too tired for her. Eventually, wanting some sort of family life of her own, the Crow kidnaps a 3-year old child and attempts to leave Poland by sea. Most of the film centers around the relationship between these two girls as the older one recognizes that being a parent entails more than giving and receiving love. Director Dorota Kedzierzawska has done a marvelous job of coaxing unaffected performances from her young actors. The movie works because these children are believable. Their relationship is fraught with all the complications and complexities one might expect when a 9-year old with limited patience seeks an outlet for a wellspring of untapped love. Crows has a style perfectly wedded to its plot: fresh, bright, and touching.
