UKRAINA! FILM FESTIVAL is taking place from 25th to 28th October this year. I'm already curious of the program.
ПРИНЦЕССА И ДРАКОН (THE PRINCESS AND THE DRAGON)
Watchable. The tale is very pleasant, nothing hard. Standard animation - sufficient but not elaborated.
A sequel is announced at the end and a cover of Limahl's "Neverending Story" follows. That's the only song in English since the rest of the Russian film, including songs, is dubbed in Polish (in Polish cinemas). The whole thing is really pleasant, warm and effortless.
KAMERDYNER
Watchable. For a bigger part I was wondering what it was about. I roughly grasped the family situation but not the political context. I felt you needed to come out straight from school to be familiar with history. Polish school that is. The movie spans 5 decades and towards the end I got it. It just meant to say the Kashubs were both internally not sure of their national affiliation and externally perceived ambiguously. The film's naturalistic Polish way: whether sex or death it looks graphic and ugly. Sebastian Fabijanski gets aged when he's meant to be 40 but no de-aging is used for the 31 year old when he's supposed to be 18, or even 14 briefly. Marianna Zydek (24), playing Marita, looks the same age all the time. In the film they're said to be both the same age. At least it's very convincingly acted which kept me watching even before I got the idea behind the production.
THE EQUALIZER 2
Watchable. Uneven: decent action bits mix with protracted sentimental ones. Outstanding sound - Dolby Atmos but truly spacious even in ordinary 5.1.
