“A Complete Unknown”- a film about Bob Dylan before „Like a Rolling Stone”

„A Complete Unknown” directed by James Mangold is a film about 4 years in the life of Bob Dylan – before he became completely famous. We meet Bobby when he arrived in New York in 1961. This 20-year-old boy wanted to visit his idol Woody Gurthie – he finally found him in a hospital in Read More

Pedro Almodóvar, „The Room Next Door”

None of the films by Pedro Almodóvar, the Spanish director and producer, has gone unnoticed. Not only because of the director’s name, which is already a brand itself. When we hear „Almodóvar”, we imagine Pedro himself, a specific frame from his films or actors and actresses who appeared in his productions, often for the first Read More

„Here” – Reuniting with the “Forrest Gump” team after 30 years

I was encouraged to watch „Here” by its trailer. Robert Zemeckis on one side of the camera, and on the other the duo that we knew and loved – Tom Hanks and Robin Wright – the dream team from “Forrest Gump”. How was it? You don’t change a good team? Well: it depends. In general, Read More

Film music – „La La Land”

Today a bit different post, because it’s going to be about film music. Or more precisely, about music from a specific film to which I return to from time to time. And every time it evokes the same positive emotions and makes it really hard to sit still. This is not about any new film, Read More

„Simona Kossak”, directed by Adrian Panek, is the film I saw as the last one at the 49th Polish Film Festival in Gdynia, Poland, within the Main Competition. I was persuaded to go for this film by Jakub Gierszał, who plays one of the leading roles in the film. His performances in films such as Read More

The film „Sezony” („Seasons”), directed by Michał Grzybowski – 49th Polish Film Festival in Gdynia, Poland

The film „Sezony” („Seasons”), directed by Michał Grzybowski, caught my eye already a few weeks ago when pre-release screenings appeared in cinema repertoires. You need to admit it – such a cast, full of known and talented actors: Agnieszka Dulęba-Kasza, Łukasz Simlat, Wiktoria Filus, Andrzej Seweryn, Sebastian Pawlak, Andrzej Grabowski, Dobromir Dymecki is impressive, isn’t Read More

„Toc, toc” – Spanish film: about serious things in not that serious way

Today, it will be about a Spanish film, but not any film that has just premiered (and not because nothing of Spanish production is currently entering Polish cinemas). It’s going to be about a film from 2017, because I think it’s worth talking about productions (whether literary, cinematic or theatrical) that were made a few Read More
