W lesie dzis nie zasnie nikt (2020)
Horror with a pinch of comedy
Not great, not terrible;) I'm not a fan of horror genre, but this one was enjoyable enough for me to call it recommendable. I wish the comedic elements were more developed, especially the priest character had great potential. I'd say the humour lacks some 'british factor' but it's OK anyway. The film doesn't take itself too seriously e.g. Through revealing the 'rules of horror' by the fatty kid character. The cinematographic aspect of the film is flawless, with beautiful locations, good make-up, nice shots, colours, etc. Not a lot of profanity; only one, tasteful, sex scene. Often criticized slow pace adds up to horror moments being more unexpected. What really stands out in the film is the music which deserves a separate rating of 10/10.
Uwiklanie (2011)
Tiring experience
Unfortunately Polish crime films should be considered a separate genre. Most of them have 4 things in common: -lots of meaningless swearing (famous Polish k-word used multiple times by many characters) - some meaningless nudity, sex scenes out of the blue between characters theoretically not attracted to each other -invoking old days of communism with its secret militia allegedly still having influence on Polish reality 20 years after collapse of communism in Eastern Europe. -they are rather tiring than entertaining "Uwiklanie" is no different in all these aspects. Comparing any B class American crime/action film, I usually need to watch it twice to notice how stupid it is, and even though it's stupid, it's still enjoyable. Polish film "Uwiklanie" was unbearable immediately the first time I watched it. As long as Polish filmmakers will keep trying to mimic Hollywood instead of coming up with original ideas we will have to suffer watching more films hoping that one day good one will show up.
