No End (Polish: Bez końca) is a 1985 film directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski and starring Grażyna Szapołowska, Maria Pakulnis, and Aleksander Bardini.
The ghost of Antek Zyro, an attorney, breaks the fourth wall, explaining he suffered a heart attack while driving and was killed in a car accident.
Inside Anatek's files, they find a small handwritten note, in which Darek requested Antek's legal representation after he is arrested for organizing for the Solidarity movement.
Labrador agrees to take his case, hoping to present Darek as an activist who believes the Polish government needed political reform.
At a Christmas party, Ula meets with Marta Duraj, who had known Antek fifteen years earlier when they were law students.
Back at Joanna's apartment, both women learn about a new trade union, with Derek's fellow dissidents involved.
Labrador revisits with Darek in his prison cell, in which he arranges to have members of the union testify in his defense.
"In his review in Cinemania, Dan Jardine wrote, "No End is Kieslowski’s dry run for Blue, both are wrenching and beautifully-lensed studies of one woman’s struggle to deal with the death of loved ones in a larger politically-charged context.
Where they differ: While similarly bleak and sorrowful, Blue finds a tortured peace, a painful hope, where No End is a giant sinkhole of despair.
"[4] In his review in the Chicago Reader, Jonathan Rosenbaum called the film "terse, suggestive, and pungent, with juicy performances by Bardini and Szapolowska.
