Luxury

About This Movie

Luxury (2008) is a low-key drama that quietly unravels the lives of two boys at a bustling Warsaw train station just before Christmas. The atmosphere is thick with melancholy—there's this palpable sense of longing and a search for connection amid the holiday chaos. Pacing is contemplative, allowing you to really soak in their stories, which intertwine in unexpected ways. The performances are raw and authentic, capturing the essence of youth and vulnerability without overindulgence. Practical effects are almost nonexistent, but the setting itself becomes a character—grimy, yet filled with a certain beauty. What strikes me is how this film doesn’t try to sugarcoat anything; it’s just life, unadorned and real. Definitely not your typical holiday fare.
