LETNIE POPOLUDNIE (ONE SUMMER AFTERNOON)

Watchable. The 81-minute mastershot (which needed rehearsals and two re-takes on the same day to become the movie) makes the film appear very natural. The actors had only guidelines of where each scene was going to lead and ad-libbed the dialogue so you get the impression you're listening to and following a real-life family. Even with its short duration it feels overlong at times. Till the surprising finale. The director claims the answer to the two questions every viewer asks: "what happened to Laura?" and "who did it to Aniela?" is in the film. The ending is so intriguing I'm going to see the film again.
