MANIFESTO
Watchable. Composed of quotes of several 20th century art manifestos read out by Cate Blanchett speaking with different accents and professional mannerisms in 13 totally different roles deserving an Oscar for the role and make up at least. When watching it's best to ignore the philosophical nonsense and just get engulfed in the images and changes in the language since all manifestos are pure form, I just couldn't tell them apart by art trends though I have some educational and professional art background. Shot on locations in Germany, mostly Berlin but also e.g. a disused factory in Cottbus. Locations are a great pick and render the film hypnotic.
NA UKLADY NIE MA RADY
Watchable. Very true to life: entrepreneurs are pestered by salesmen of all sorts, politicians are enticed to accept bribes and nepotism and get later blamed by the media regardless of what they have or haven't done, law enforcement services fight between themselves for cases to take or discard. It's just hardly funny and was meant to be a comedy.

MLYNARSKI. PIOSENKA FINALOWA
Watchable. I used to think of Wojciech Młynarski as of a boring old prick. From the documentary I know he was quite good-looking when young and very smart, with a sharp mind. The music style is not what I listen to but it was an ongoing commentary to social and political developments of his era and very to the point. His suffered from bipolar disorder which was responsible both for his creativity, brilliant mind and social mixing abilities and for his darker periods which destroyed his family. A surprisingly involving film, even for those younger than Wojciech Młynarski would be now.
