PAN T. (MISTER T.)

Watchable. Plausibly recreated 1953. Feels too slow but such was the pace of life back then. The film's a saucy satire on communism and on artists, with an occasional reference to our contemporary times, e.g. when a protagonist says he's "najgorszy sort" ("the worst sort" - after the Law and Justice party president calling some Poles "people of a worse sort"). It's aptly high contrast black and white like the reality it tells about. A shot of two lovers is put into a frame. I see it as a feeble attempt at repeating the success of "Cold War".
