BATTLE OF THE SEXES

Recommended. More gripping than Borg vs McEnroe. The stake's higher: a male chauvinist swine vs a feminist. He's male so he's got nothing to lose. She has to prove her equality, win it. Kept me on the edge of my seat from the sexist beginning to the very ending. Their banter and mockery are fun to watch too.

DZIKIE ROZE (WILD ROSES)

Watchable. Boring family and church life in a village. Lots of childcare and a baby so disgusting I had to divert my sight. Nearly an hour or so in you discover the mother has an affair with a schoolboy so things get kinky. Then the kid (the disgusting one) disappears and the combing of the woods is so touching even I cried. The title implies the illicit affair is the core but that takes only a few brief moments in the movie. There is more about her family falling apart. Her husband earns a decent living away from home and demands from her unconditional devotion to the family. She's just sick and tired of being without him. The situation takes its toll on the children.

ZNAKI

Watchable. A year of life of Miss Deaf International and her participation in "Dancing with the Stars": beautiful views of Poland, the US, Thailand, lots of eye-catching outfits, make-ups and hairdos, few dialogues, a lot of perky... music. Very pleasant. No clear point in it. A lovely post-credit.
