LOKATORKA (THE TENANT. YOU CAN'T BURN US ALL)
Recommended. Gripping from the opening and repeatedly shocking with the scale of lawlessness. Łukasz Targosz's music is unnoticeable but builds tension almost surreptitiously. Perfect cast. Creepy baddies, even Piotr Głowacki acts and is made to look evil, like an apex predator. The story's harrowing, on the edge of being tear-jerking. Worst of all, it's based on facts. Skillfully written witty banter is even more impressive in the context. A curious fact is the tenant is watching "Wieloryb z Lorino" ("Whale from Lorino" in one of scenes - a documentary I've written about before which depicts a very poor community in the north of Russia which is abandoned by the system just like the eponymous tenant.
