PAMIETNIKI TATUSIA MUMINKA (THE EXPLOITS OF MOOMINPAPPA)
Recommended. This Polish-Finnish co-production starts with gloomy black and beige opening drawings, accompanied by an ear-splitting song. Past that, less than 3 minutes, the fun begins. The animation uses compositing to ensure consistency with the original tales from years ago. Each character is distinct, quirky and unchangeable. Only the adventures, plenty, come one after another in quick succession. It's best to watch carefully in order not to miss any of the witty lines, e.g. "Już nigdy nikogo nie uratuję po ciemku." ("I'll never save anyone again in darkness.") or about giants: "czasem kogoś rozdepczą, ale tylko niechcący, płaczą potem przez tydzień i pokrywają koszt pogrzebu" ("they'll sometimes trample someone but only inadvertently, they cry for a week afterwards and cover the cost of the funeral").
Reviewed from the distributor's screener, cinematic reception might differ.
GAME OF THRONES: HOUSE OF THE DRAGON EP. 1
Recommended. George R.R. Martin co-wrote this prequel - an inside joke is (his) "Songs of Ice and Fire" are mentioned in the episode as an ancient work of high value to the House Tangaryen - and is the main executive producer. A dragon, violence increasingly shocking within one hour-long episode, nudity are all there. And one of protagonists resembles Daenerys with her future love interest being similar to Jon Snow. Costume details merit a big screen. And when Ramin Djawadi's music theme from the "Game of Thrones" returns you suddenly feel back home. Distinct protagonists, a network of intrigues. Also the season preview entices with plot developments which guarantee a huge following.
It's been available on HBO Max since 22nd August at 3 a.m. Polish time (CET). As usual, 3 a.m. Did I feel happy I had seen the preview before.
