History, once characterised by its harsh and painful aspects, can eventually transform into the subject of humour and a wellspring of creative inspiration for artists. War is no exception. In Pray For Peace, Train For War Polish director Agnieszka Elbanowska creates a funny and satirical world that resembles war.
The plot revolves around Tytus, (Michał Sikorski) a young man who becomes a member of the local paramilitary group established by his father (Juliusz Chrzastowski). It is within this group that he crosses paths with Natalia (Kinga Jasik), a notably stronger and more experienced young woman. Tytus' dad is obsessed with the Second World War and endeavors to provide young people with an experience akin to the conflict era. Throughout the film, the director pokes fun not only at the military camp but also at the idea of warfare itself.
The narative is full of humour and punchlines from the start,...

Netflix’s latest crime drama, The Woods, based on a novel by Harlan Coben, is a twisty turny tale which sees a horrible crime and a mysterious disappearance resurface 25 years later. It’s a six part series with each ep lasting just under an hour which builds to a strange, troubling and fascinating conclusion. Not everything in The Woods is clear, and not everything is cut and dried – that’s a very deliberate choice in a show that plays with our ideas of guilt and innocence and what lengths people will go to for the ones they love.
It’s a complicated beast, so here we break down the questions – answered, and unanswered – that The Woods leaves us with.
Needless to say Massive Spoilers To Follow.
