Other meetings and debates were less productive. Samira Elagoz, who looked normal, turned out to be weird. Her privacy border is set differently to most people. Showing herself having sex, with a stranger, in a film didn't cross her intimacy barrier, showing some conversations did. The "free lunch" was also peculiar - Polish economists didn't get what unconditional basic income was supposed to mean. They associated it with a social programme similar to the current 500+. Pathetic.
I'm about a week behind with posts but it's coming, after the weekend.

FALLEN FLOWERS THICK LEAVES
Watchable. About Chinese women discovering their sexuality. In more communist times in China all individualism was forbidden, including caring for one's own sexual pleasure. Now, whether young or old women, they have to learn it. There's little about their relationships here, though it strikes how rational the choices are for both parties each time. The camera just follows the ladies. Not much background is given.
TAHQIQ FEL DJENNA (INVESTIGATING PARADISE)
Watchable. With some humour it shows how the 72 houris awaiting men in paradise, which are mentioned neither in the Quran nor the Sunna, are used to dupe men into submission to tyranny. I personally most liked the male feminist who observed that there's no freedom without women's rights. If women are expected to be submissive, there's no freedom in the society as well. The overlong documentary leaves the viewer with a rumour that the Wahhabis got it wrong: "There are no 72 houris. There's one. She's 72."

Meeting with Cicciolina
Cicciolina came in a bright red fishtail dress with sequins, a wreath on her head and a teddy bear. The room was so packed she was answering questions standing. She talked about her plight for safe love-making in parks and for animal rights. She let a few guys from the audience kiss her. She was quite fat, with some minor lines on her face, heavily made up. When I asked about plastic surgeries, she only told me about her tits and about how proud of them she was. A girl studying at the Academy of Fine Arts and "shown tits all the time" asked Cicciolina to show hers. She replied it was prohibited, to which the girl exclaimed: "But it always was!" Then the star agreed to show them outside. We waited till she was leaving and... yes, she did! I admit her surgeon had done an amazing job creating large breasts with small, light-colour, delicate nipples. I have to say I expected the porn star to be more scandalizing. Instead, she turned out to be warm-hearted, open and cuddly.

PRE-CRIME
Watchable. The future of policing is prevention and faster, more effective investigation. The documentary involves like a thriller. The algorithms whose work it presents are imperfect (but are humans any better?) and seen as victimizing. The edge of the film lies not in questioning them but showing how it works and what is feasible. It's a proof that science fiction is becoming our reality. It shows our very likely future of 5-10 years to come.
TERAZ I W GODZINE SMIERCI
Recommended. About the power of prayer throughout recent history: from post-war Austria, overthrowing President Marcos in the Philippines, through the US war in Afghanistan, the Ukrainian revolution in Maidan, the Rwandan war, Boko Haram terror in Nigeria to a Brussels terrorist attack - not in such order or chronology but such a scope. The documentary is staunchly Catholic. The only explanation of some lucky escapes given here is the power of the Rosary. I see it in more secular terms, as the power of faith and religious experience. What struck me was a Rwandan war survivor's testimony in which she says how, in the moment of religious ecstasy, the tiny bathroom she and a few other women had been hiding in for 3 months suddently started smelling beautifully. It's very similar to what a Polish jihadist said in "Insha Allah. Krew meczennikow" ("Insha Allah. Blood of the Martyrs") about an ISIS martyr's blood. To me it's a proof that our imagination can overwhelm our senses. The Boko Haram terrorist who let a pious Catholic woman free was no miracle either. Christians and Muslims are both People of the Book and true, peaceful Muslims understand that. The notion that it's secularism that's the threat, not terrorism is some food for thought. The film has power, regardless of your interpretation.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: SALAZAR'S REVENGE AKA DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES AT IMAX 3D
Recommended. 2 hours 33 minutes of pure fun. "I'm not looking for any trouble." "What a horrid life it is!" Two new charming actors: Kaya Scodelario and Brenton Thwaites and Paul McCartney as Uncle Jack accompany the old good ones. Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow of course is the star here. He feels like an old buddy with his drunkenness, specific humour, advice on women and several lucky escapes. Fantastic 3D CGIs immerse you in the Caribbean Sea (Australian Gold Coast plays the part). Brilliant music, including the theme re-worked a number of times and sounding over the credits at the very end of which you get rewarded with one scene extra. All pirates, board this ship!

ALIEN: COVENANT
Watchable. It's a sequel of a prequel. While I remember "Prometheus" as outstanding, "Alien: Covenant" is just a time gap filler, just like "Alien" was ground-breaking and "Aliens" were no match. When you see the title on the screen, there's no semi-colon so that implies an "alien covenant" - an agreement between non-humans and the subsequent plot is quite in line with this interpretation. It starts with "I am your father" and after the conversation comes the hard SF of the spacecraft. The middle is some mumbo jumbo on the planet where the escapees the Prometheus crash site (doctor Elisabeth Shaw and android David) landed in the Engineers' spaceship. Shot in New South Wales, Australia and totally deprived of the beautiful Icelandic landscapes and the atmosphere of "Prometheus". The highlight is the personality/software clash between the two androids. The movie reveals plot elements too fast, giving no time to feel any tension. The intrigue in the very ending is really good. All in all, it's just a filling, lacks the force of the real tooth.
MISS SLOANE
Recommended. An excellent political thriller. "Lobbying is a nice word for what?", as a character in the movie asks. The trailer announces a few surprises, including one after the trump card's been drawn. It fulfills the promise. A surpise follows another, the tension never releases and there are twists and turns you can't foresee. Jake Lacy memorably features as Forde.
NIGHT FILM MARATHON - MARATHON WITH ALIEN WITH PREMIERE
PROMETHEUS
Watchable. While I no longer felt the admiration, the awe or the tension I did the first time, I'm still impressed with the completeness of the created world.
ALIEN: COVENANT
Watchable. In the ending of "Prometheus" doctor Shaw and the android take off to the planet the Engineers came from. This film leaves a gap again. The events take place 10 years after the escape, leaving the mystery of the missing time period. While David, the immortal android, recounts the landing or the crash, we know he's a lying beast so the puzzle remains. The film makes perfect sense filling the story but it's little more than a missing link.
Still, these two, recent instalments, are at least eventful and well-paced in comparison to the old ones:
ALIEN - DIRECTOR'S CUT
Watchable. Feels archaic and lacks the tension of the regular, theatrical release. While blood dripping onto Parker from the ventilation shaft is a nice addition, several scenes have been changed which somehow interferes with the dynamics of the movie. It may also be just me having seen so much more modern space opera since that now it makes no impression on me.
ALIENS - DIRECTOR'S CUT
Watchable. The hearing at the beginning of the film is an interesting dramatic edition. Ripley daughter's death is played too sentimentally. The colony view is run-of-the-mill with the children played too sentimentally again, completely needlessly added. The troopers' introduction is exaggeratedly rough. The conversation about having children, relaccing Ripley daughter's death is tacky.
The movie's mostly interesting in the term of technological advancements between the 1979 "Alien" and 21st century "Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant". The fight part of the film is as boring as in the original.
No post-credits scenes in either of the two series.

TELLE MERE, TELLE FILLE
Watchable for the second time. Remarkably well acted, not only by the leads but also by featured extras, e.g. the woman at a bus stop. Cheerful music, humour, e.g. the scene where the mother and the daughter sleep together in weird positions, light-hearted, smart and very pleasant. Maybe it would be funnier with more surprising situations but the way it is it's still a real feel-good movie.

GWIAZDY
Watchable. A letdown. Hiring a Playboy model (Karolina Szymczak) to show her tits doesn't make a movie. Neither does dyeing Sebastian Fabijanski blonde to make him hot. I loathe the recent Polish obsession with making everything historic on the verge of political. A commentary is usually annoying too. I only enjoyed the film being in Silesian accent. Well imitated by non-Silesians.
GET OUT
Recommended. Full of mystery. For a larger part you're not sure if it's just the black guy feeling out of place in a posh white house or whether something's wrong for real. Everything you hear takes on a new, sinister meaning once you learn what's going on. Are Oscar nominations possible for such a movie? Because Marcus Henderson, Betty Gabriel and Lakeith Lee Stanfield well deserve them. The title is shown again at the end - I just loved it.
After reading other critics' opinions I feel compelled to add that yes, the movie is about modern-day racism but this isn't why I recommend it. I just find it to be a superintelligent thriller. At the same time it's based on the separation of cultures. America has two histories, two cultures and two languages: black and white. A white person would abbreviate Andrew to Andy, not "Dre", like the black guy in the movie. Music listened to, clothing worn, accent spoken as well as the history, for some of dominance and for the others of slavery, set the two realities apart. Before the film it would have been to me inconceivable to see a china cup, for me cosy and homey, as a symbol of oppression. It's these parallel worlds of blacks and of whites that have made the script possible and so convincing.
"Get Out" seen courtesy of Cinema City - as I will state over and over again, the cinema with the comfiest seats in Warsaw.
Only after you've seen the movie, here's a thorough, sociological, full of spoilers explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gQP4ffowCY&feature=em-uploademail

THE CIRCLE
Recommended. Realistic SF if I can say so. Or more on the science part rather than fiction. It's a near future possibility grounded in our present: Facebook, connected service accounts, electoral registers, self-driving cars being developed and, above all, privacy concerns. "Privacy was a temporary thing and now it's over". Filmed entirely in California so it's mostly sun-drenched yet bleak. Even the initial credits have circular typography. No scenes during or after them.
DEEP
Watchable. It attempts to be "Finding Nemo" or "Finding Dory" but it fails badly. Action gets interrupted with bad music a few times. The whole film is a rubbish bin of motifs from other productions: Deep is an heir to the throne who needs to save his community, there are lots of sea creatures and "cool" dialogues, a vampire, zombie fish, evil scientists are trying to destroy the world, NYC is sunk like in "A. I. Artificial Intelligence". Deep in the Polish dubbing has an annoying child-like voice. I was mostly curious if the "white whale" would be as lovely as in "Finding Dory". It's not. It's grey and wrinkly but pleasantly not child-like at least.
Podlasie Slow Fest is an interesting upcoming film festival to take place in Supraśl over nearly 3 months from July to September. Apart from movies, there will be cooking workshops, e.g. making herb pickles and outings to see the rut of roe-deer and red deer.

OZZY
Recommended. Unimissable for all dog lovers, even adult like me. Caricature-like animation with all characters having the upper half of the body bigger than the legs or paws and clearly drawn edges makes it cute and perfect even for child audience. The story's heart-wrenching and complex - the smallest children in the audience didn't last till the end. Good jokes, e.g. advertising a dog: "He even knows Powerpoint", about a chatty owner and his quiet dog: "Now I understand why he doesn't talk" or "There's nothing like burnt toast" (I'm translating from the Polish dubbing back into English so please forgive me any inaccuracies), in the beginning and in the ending, lots of heartache and tension for the larger, middle, part. But it all ends well and the villains get punished.
I saw it at my local Cinema City - the cinema with the most comfy seats in Warsaw and perfect picture and sound.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 - IMAX 3D
Watchable. Much better than part one. Mind-blowing 3D made me cringe a number of times. Ego's Planet looks amazing. Even the initial scene on Earth puts you right in the middle of action with top-notch picture and sound. Young Kurt Russell appears too. At some point you see a multispecies bar surrounded by a wintry landscape resembling "Star Wars" but as a whole it's tongue-in-cheek and aimed at teenagers. There's more of a plot in this part. Unfortunately the guardians' banter, jokes and most of other dialogues are as vulgar and primitive as in the first instalment. Chris Pratt looks awfully fat. With several films adding post-credits scenes nowadays, Marvel couldn't be worse so there are quite a few scenes during the credits, announcing a sequel, and one at the very end. Also, Stan Lee appears once in the movie and once afterwards.
The trailer of the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" looks extremely promising with its perfect 3D and ingenious plot. The trailer of "Thor: Ragnarok" is visually appealing too.
SONG TO SONG
Watchable. It's long, slow and about nothing but shot in a somehow melodious way. Interiors play a role here: a vast villa with a pool gets juxtaposed with a small flat with taps and tiles in the kitchen looking like gold. A hot actress (Bérénice Marlohe) in a minor role.
LITTLE MEN
Watchable. A superficial tale about different approaches (manipulative, straightforward, legal, a silent protest) to conflict resolution. The 13-year-olds' friendship makes you analyse how it's different among adults when money comes into play. One of the kids (Michael Barbieri) acts in an annoyingly exaggerated way.
