WYRWA (THE BREACH)
Watchable. Mostly for the locations, cinematography and Tomasz Kot in the leading role and superb Konrad Eleryk as the drunken villain. The rest is a typical dull Polish drama with numerous flashbacks and dream sequences. After the sufficiently engaging investigation, some tongue-in-cheek conversations e.g. about acting in a serial and in real life, as well as a few tear-inducing moments, the finale is vague. Some text message, apparently vital, is displayed too briefly to read, no idea who the woman accompanying the widower (by Olga Bołądź) is or what drove the wife to death and, basically, the whole sense of the action goes astray. I appreciate the kids looking like a spitting image of the actress and the bar decor with a shark head. But lengthy passages and constant ambiguities, especially in the concluding part, fail the movie big time. Either director Bartosz Konopka or editor Andrzej Dąbrowski got it all wrong. The plot is so inconclusive that all we know it has something to do with metamorphoses as the "Metamorfozy" song implies.
