ZUZEL (SPEEDWAY)
Watchable. Tomasz Ziętek as Lowa is superb as an actor and athletic enough to act as a sportsman. Authentic sports people appear in supporting roles. Arthur Reinhart triples as the producer, set designer - decent, especially the rope gives an impression the protagonist is going to kill himself - and cinematographer - the best aspect of the movie, e.g. gradual colour saturation, aquatic optical effects. However, the best ones appear too early and the whole film is in dark hues which makes you weary. Sound effects are top-notch but the speedway ones repeat over and over, only the dog barking in the residential area stands out after a while. The technicalities don't save the trivial plot with natural but banal dialogues. About one hour in, the action livens up, when Lowa has a change of heart, for a while. Showy but weary.
