JAK ZOSTALEM GANGSTEREM. HISTORIA PRAWDZIWA (HOW I BECAME A GANGSTER. TRUE STORY)
Recommended. A model example of how a movie should be scripted, directed, acted, cut and what music it should feature. It's an absolutely perfect gang leader story, similar in style to "Trainspotting" but with a totally original script. Distinct personalities, psychologically justified actions, outrageous crimes, everything told with a pinch of salt and top-notch twists and turns. The soundtrack is diverse including Alphaville, "Koyaanisqatsi" by Philip Glass or Polish band Dżem and others.
19TH WATCH DOCS FILM FESTIVAL
WHAT WE LEFT UNFINISHED
Watchable. You get to see excerpts from Afghan movies - from the 80s, before the Talibans, when men and women were uncovered and the country colourful and lovely. You realize all the Islamic fundamentalism the country is associated with now is imposed on them. The documentary is a bit chaotic and red tape laiden.
1917
Watchable. Run-of-the-mill storyline. It looks and feels like a series of tasks in a computer game at times. Modern music exacerbates this effect. But it's touching occasionally too. One good moment is when the screen blacks out - for a long while you don't know what's going on. Like Peter Jackson's "They Shall Not Grow Old", it's based on veterans' stories. So with all the visual artificiality it is quite realistic after all.
