NIGHT FILM MARATHON - NOC POLSKIEGO KRYMINALU (THE NIGHT OF POLISH CRIME FILMS)
PITBULL
Watchable. Chaotic, loose scenes with no comprehensible storyline, yet lively, showing all sorts of pathologies within the police force.
PITBULL. NOWE PORZADKI (NEW ORDERS)
Recommended. Comprehensible, twisted and contorted story line, beautifully shot, with fascinating characters. It comprises entirely of authentic dialogues and features real police and real criminals. Great action movie.
FOTOGRAF
Recommended. Seen for the second time it's still fascinating and definitely the best film of the marathon. Full of mystery and insight into Russian mentality (the film's banned in Russia) together with the criminal intrigue.
PSY (PIGS)
Walked out. Cliche lines, lousy plot, no fascinating crime either.
PLANETA SINGLI (PLANET SINGLE)
Watchable.
Sometimes funny, e.g. to a little boy previously scorned by a teacher,
now called over by him: "Nie boj sie, badz mezczyzna!" ("Don't be afraid, be a
man!"), sometimes tear-jerking, never hilarious. A Polish film scripted
in one half by Americans, in one fourth by a Canadian and one fourth by
a Pole. In result it looks like a frame-by-frame remake of a concoction
of American rom-coms. It's also fairy-tale-like, very light
entertainment. Far from real life online dating experiences.
CAROL
Watchable.
It's boring, slow, phoney. None of the Oscar nominations justified
apart from the score which creates old time Christmas charm.
THE FINEST HOURS 3D AT IMAX
Recommended.
Chris Pine - handsome and acting superbly is the film's main asset.
Combined with great visual effects and a clear storyline it makes for a
pleasing watching. The final song is beautiful too.
