SAMIEC ALFA (ALPHA MALE)

Watchable again. The first time round only Konrad Eleryk kept me watching so I was skeptical about another viewing. But it's actually better after the re-cut and with skillfully added music. The message became clear: how men are concerned with material possessions more than with meaningful relationships and how personal coaches may well be nuts. Lines are comedy ones but acting serious, especially by Mirosław Haniszewski as the Leader, i.e. the main role. Basically. it's written as a comedy, acted like a tragedy. Only dance scenes are comical enough. The whole thing looks awfully cheap.

Konrad Eleryk got to the June premiere straight from a set of an episode shot for Netflix, after which he had had to clean off mud and blood. I asked him whether his muscles came from any particular sports discipline. He used to do Thai boxing before and now is training again just for himself.
