Recommended. The "Small Pleasures" gave me great happiness. The film starts and ends with beautiful traditional Arabic music which you can hear every now and then throughout the movie as well. Breath-taking costumes. A mesmerising young actress as Fatouma. The story's quite special too - among women only. You learn a lot about Moroccan customes in the 1950s. It all ends well, each subplot. The music stays with you after leaving the cinema.
MIRACOLUL DIN TEKIR (THE MIRACLE OF TEKIR)
Recommended. A mysterious tale from Romania. Contemporary but traditional healing methods play a prominent role. Music score by Aisha Devi with additional chorals magnifies the feeling of eeriness. The plot focuses on getting pregnant and is so suggestive I ended up with a bellyache.
POLISH FILM AWARDS ORŁY 2018 - LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
No impact of the scandal on Polanski's popularity in Poland. In viewers' voting for the best movie out of the winners for the past 20 years "The Pianist" won. While the Polish Film Academy awarded Jerzy Stuhr, I wonder if he's known outside this country at all.
