LETNIE PRZESILENIE (SUMMER SOLSTICE)
Recommended. Two hot young blond actors: Filip Piotrowicz (17, Polish, living in Oxford) and Jonas Nay (26, German, living in Lübeck) are enough to watch it already. The plot is peculiar too. It's different from other Second World War films - it's more multi-dimensional and what I see as the main meaning of war is its uncertainty.
QUEEN OF THE DESERT
Recommended. Mostly for the stunning cinematography. But also for the 2 hours 8 minutes of deep thoughts on how to deal with sadness.
TRUTH
Recommended. A film on journalism and politics with a powerful ending about what it's for. About the US but will ring bells in Poland too. Great music, especially during final credits.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR
Recommended. While it follows all the standards of an American supernatural horror, it does so masterfully, keeping you in the grip of fear from the beginning to the end. The exotic Indian setting adds a flavour without being gaudy. Try to look at the person next to you during the film - they'll have a phantom aura in the darkness of the cinema. The dog in the film is cute warming the movie. It's funny its Polish release coincides with the same day release of "The Jungle Book". The final credits score is horrifying as well. I was wondering whether I should stay till the end for a potential after-the-credits scene but I noticed the ex-friend-turned-psychopath in the audience and got double scared. What if he had got inspired by the film? I got home wonderfully scared.
