JESTEM MORDERCA

Watchable. Perfectly recreated 70s in communist Poland: pervasive smoking, drinking, 70s fashion, interiors. Lots of humour, e.g. the first computer. Agata Kulesza unrecognizable in her fat costume. The action takes place in Silesia and several actors speak with Silesian accent - just enough to demonstrate where it's based but soft enough to be comprehensible to the rest of Poles (I can't fully understand my original Silesian friend and I had no problems with the film). The movie's very well scripted psychologically, extremely well acted, costumed, made up and set up. I only found it frustrating not to find out the truth. In that manner the film is too true to real life - no one knows. It would have hit harder if it had taken sides.
