Life / Polish movies with English subtitles [87]

Czesc,

I agree it is difficult to find Polish movies with English subtitles, but not impossible :)

You could try this site:

polishmoviesonline.com/about_us.php

The average cost is around $14 and most films have subtitles.

However, I don't see on there two of my personal fav. films; Job - very funny and I would say should have a broad appeal to both Polish and English viewers, watch out for the old lady who is teaching English from her 'pokuje full of kotami' - room full of cats!! :)

and also a newish film called Mannan, which must be the best made low budget, two man comedy I've ever seen. Very simple story, but will make you smile :)

I saw that someone on here also mentioned Dekalog as being very good, allbeit expensive... I do like this series of 10 stories, all different takes on the 10 comandments, espcially so as it's from the 80's and therefore shows a much different Poland. I bought my copy about 8 years ago from HVM and I think/I'm sure it was only £14, though I did have to order a copy in special.

If you get a chance try to see Londynczycy, it has run for two series and is an interesting show, well from my perspective as an English woman facinated with all things Polish!

Long live Polskego Kino!

Life / Polish Hip Hop [47]

Personally I really like Polish hip hop I don't believe it's an oxymoron, I think the language gives it's self naturally to this kind of music as it's so poetic and potent. You may wish to check out; Kaliber 44 - Gruby Czarny kot and 52 Debic - Konfrontacje and Doniu - Uciekaj .....

At completely the other end of the spectrum I also like Polish reggae and clever poetic lyrics like Maria Peszek's and Grzegorz Turnau.

Oh wow thank you Internaldialog, again!!

These tracks are great, I especially like: Maria Peszek, Marika, Sandra & O.S.T.R (great voice, passionate and angry - grrrr; a bit like MC Solarr). Dieki for the lyrics too, now I can annoy my neighbours!!!

Mmmm I'm off to find O.S.T.R's album in full...

Bardzo dziekuje

Hahaha Ms Internaldialog will 'ave to stop meeting like this!

Thanks for the link to czas honoru, I'm having trouble getting it to play, but I'll sort it and get back to you.

Wow you have a veritable libruary of Polska Kino.... I am jealous!

Mmmm I too have U pana Boga and have seen Testorsteron, but I didn't like it to be truthful. There was another good film, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called, roughly translated it's 'Crazy Days', it's about a guy living in a block of high rise flats, like those in Dekalog, but in the 90's or early '00 and he's being driven to distraction by his neighbours, the builders and the million sausage dogs pooing everywhere! Tulipan is interesting too, if you get chance to see it, it's from '86 and is about a fisherman who leaves his mother and home town to chase rich woman and live off them... Quite sad really :(
