Kieslowski has no need for fictional characters when real people are more interesting. You could say it’s one of his mottos. Talking Heads is a demonstration of that, a series of interviews sorted chronologically by age with 100 different people. The generation transitions in this documentary happen too quickly with very little youth featured, which gets rid of the most interesting element of this. Aside from that element, all of the answers are generic platitudes you’d expect from anyone.
