Knowing virtually all, Bez Końca remains my most personal effort, including a lot of his DNA earlier on:

Thanks for the heads-up. Embarassingly, I’ve never seen that one, the first Kieslowski/Preisner collaboration (and it’s obviously not had a soundtrack release either, as you point out in your review). I’ve always wanted to, as well as PRZYPADEK (1981/1987), where Kieslowski worked with Wojciech Kilar, no less. BEZ KONCA appears to have a “local” Polish Blu-ray release, but I’m not aware of any streaming options.

Listening again to his FOOLISH HEART (1998) now, which Caldera recently released. It’s a fine score, no question about it, but calling it “Fourth Film Music Symphony” is a bit overkill from Preisner, I think. It doesn’t feel like it belongs in the upper echelon of his works.
