I cannot remember the last time (or perhaps ever?) I felt so emotional before going to the cinema as I did in the case of Wojciech Smarzowski’s film „Dom dobry” („A Good Home”). On the one hand, I was afraid that I would see domestic violence so real that the images would stay in my Read More

“Chopin, Chopin!” – a film directed by Michał Kwieciński that reminds us that Chopin is timeless.
The film “Chopin, Chopin!” directed by Michał Kwieciński opened this year’s 50th Gdynia Film Festival (22-27 September 2025). I didn’t manage to see it during the festival, but I’ve already caught up. I admit, when I learned that such a film was being made, I wasn’t sure I wanted to see it. But the trailer Read More
The film „Materialists” directed by Celine Song – why it’s worth watching
„Materialists” is the latest film by director Celine Song. We may be drawn to the cinema by: the director’s name, one of the three actors – Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal or Chris Evans (or even all three), the film’s trailer, or the announcement of „a romantic comedy perfect for the summer”. Of course, there is Read More
„Flow” – a film directed by Gilts Zilbalodis, or the black kitten and company
Big yellow cat eyes are looking at me from movie poster, and I feel hypnotized. They belong to a black cat whose imperfect cartoon look encouraged me to go to the cinema and for which I kept my fingers crossed during the almost one and a half hour screening. I advise you to do the Read More
“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
„Conclave” – a film about much more than conclave
When I saw the poster advertising the film „Conclave”, directed by Edward Berger, I knew it would be a film I would have to watch. Where did this certainty come from? Maybe I thought that if someone decides to make a film about the Catholic Church, it will be worth watching? Maybe the name of Read More

The film “A Real Pain” tells the story of two cousins: David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (played by Kieran Culkin), who decided to travel to Poland Read More
