Film after film: Żeby nie było śladów (Leave No Traces, dir. Jan P. Matuszyński, 2021)
It's a disappointingly sterile chronicle of a significant journalist study of a political cover-up of a state-approved murder of a young adult in the early 1980s in Poland. So disappointing that I don't even want to cut the previous sentence into better syntax. Korzeniak is a tricky standout, since she is the only cast member who chooses a radically different acting mode than the others by downplaying, stuttering, and almost disappearing into her trauma. It's an impressive and infuriating performance. The others run a more predictable game, with Grochowska and Konieczna being the standouts. My biggest sigh goes to Zietek, who, after a small yet star-turning supporting role in Corpus Christi, was only an okay lead of Operation Hyacynth and here is a bit less than okay. But again this film is a syndrome of what seems to be a more global turn for the mainstream Polish cinema of the recent 3-4 years, one that's away from charisma and singularity.
Hi Cib♥️ Can I please get parent faceclaims for Taveeta Szymanowicz? TIA!

Nina, a former NATO special operations agent living in hiding, has to use all her deadly skills to rescue her son who has been kidnapped by ruthless gangsters. Finding Max is a double opportunity for her. A chance to feel the adrenaline rush again, and an opportunity to get back into the life of the son she had to abandon years ago.

Nie lubię remontowania i tego lata odbijałem je sobie, chodząc do kina. Codziennie. Zapraszam na kilka słów o filmach (post?)pandemicznych z obu stron magicznej bariery płciowej.

Teen Spirit https://bit.ly/3svusnO It doesn’t take much exposure to TV talent shows to realise that success with the voting audience or expert panel isn’t so much about the performance and talent as about the story the contestant tells. Teen Spirit takes that idea, the story, and turns it into a story of its own. In what could almost … Read more
