I love 'Pan Tadeusz' by Andrej Wajda (though I have to guess the actors' speeches by remembring the 'English' lines of Mickiewicz as there is no subtitle:)). It is definitely one of the most moving films in my opinion. Gloriously beautiful sceneries, brilliant music score, great actings by Boguslaw Linda and Dan Obryszchki (and even the ever handsome Michal Zabrowski), shockingly beautiful actresses (cant remember the name of girl who played Zosia) all contibute to the sublimity of the film. Initially, I did find some reservation concerning the fighting scenes but then I understand, as a poetic movie, Pan Tadeusz does not need to be brutally realistic concerning gore and death (See 'Kanal' of the same Wajda to know what he is capable of!) The movie did not even manage to win an Oscar nomination, as some people have complained, but really who care? If I and you know it is a great work of art to be treasured, it doesn't really need some snotty American film gurus to change the belief (especially by just slapping about a fake golden statue!). Anyway, Wajda earned a Lifetime honor by said gurus in 2000 and I suspect, Pan Tadeusz played a significant contribution to this 'ultimate' acknowledgement.
I was given a Polish film called "tato" as a christmas present, i havent watched it yet, just wondered if anyone had heard of it and if it was a good film?
Director is Maciej Slesicki and stars Boguslaw Linda, Cezary Pazura, Krystyna Janda.
I saw this film Polish tv where this guy had two girlfriends and they were in different cities was sort of comedy I think it was made in 70's. Does anyone know this movie ?
That film just burnt into mind somehow...even if I didn't know a single word in it !
I quite liked dzien Swira....maybe i am bit weird?:)
I have heard about polish writer katarzyna Grochala and when I was last time in Poland i bought DVD "Nigdy w zyciu" I haven't seen it yet but it seems to be good little romantic film.
I quite like some of old polish comedies like: Jak rozpetalem II wojne swiatowa,Kogel-Mogel, Kingsajz, Vabank....
I am not big fan of Keslowski.....he is so sad, gloomy,......depressing....
