The brutal regime of early 1980s Poland is explored through a fictionalised version of the true story of student Grzegorz Przemyk (Mateusz Górski), who was beaten to death by the state militia in 1983. The way the murder happens, like a bolt from the blue, is just the first shock in a film that repeatedly shows us just how much energy despotic regimes can be prepared to expend in order to achieve the result that they want.
Grzegorz is simply hanging out with his friend Jurek Popiel (Tomasz Ziętek), when a bit of horsing about too far sees them approached by the police. When Grzegorz – who is the son of opposition firebrand and poet Barbara Sadowska (Sandra Korzeniak) – refuses to show his ID. Despite being something that should no longer be compulsory after the suspension of martial law, the pair are nevertheless bundled off to the police...

‘Leave No Traces’ Director Calls Infamous 1983 Killing Of Polish Teen “Kafkaesque” – Contenders L.A.
Leave No Traces director Jan P. Matuszynski said that although the Polish population might know about the murder of Grzegorz Przemyk, most didn’t understand the full scope of the operation. Matuszynski and lead actor Tomasz Zietek joined film critic Todd McCarthy to talk about the political drama during Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles award-season event Sunday at the DGA Theater.
“No one knew the details — just names and if they had gotten beaten up,” Matuszynski said. “If you go more into the characters, which is in the film, they didn’t know how much of a cover-up it was. The problem was not the situation in the police station. The problem was that it was getting more and more political. This is something that is universal.”

The haunting case of Polish student and poet Grzegorz Przemyk dominated the country’s national media throughout 1983. It divided Poland into an Us vs Them scenario as the nation was still in the grips of heavy Soviet influence and struggling to survive in a stratocracy. Jan P. Matuszynski’s Venice Film Festival competition entry, Leave No Traces , puts the entire case of Przemyk’s death and all those involved on display by showing how far military and crooked politicians will go to circumvent responsibility by using threats and intimidation to keep a witness from testifying in court.
Good lengthy movies have a purpose of existing that way. Every hour is utilized to keep the story moving forward. Leave No Traces (which clocks in at 2:45) could have been a film with a powerful statement about state-sanctioned violence. In the end, it’s just an overstuffed slog that could have benefitted...

From their first moments onscreen, it’s evident no good is going to come to teenagers Jurek (Tomasz Zietek) and Grzegorz (Mateusz Górski). Jan P. Matuszyński’s unsparingly bleak period feature Leave No Traces (Żeby nie było śladów) — based on the real-life police beating, in Poland circa 1983, of high school student Grzegorz Przemyk — opens with a complex single shot that ominously captures the calm before the storm.
Grzegorz and Jurek wake up in the former’s bedroom, gray light streaming through the window, a pet turtle crawling across the floor, the friends’ idle chitchat mundane to a ...

"To forgive doesn't mean to forget." Film Movement has unveiled the Us trailer for an indie drama from Poland titled Corpus Christi, which was one of the big discoveries at the Venice Film Festival earlier this fall. It also played at the Toronto Film Festival, and is Poland's submission to the Academy Awards. Inspired by real events, it tells the story of a 20-year-old fresh out of a Youth Detention Center for murder, but his crime prevents him from applying to the seminary. However, he ends up being mistaken as the priest and decides to start pretending to be a real priest at a parish in a small town. An honest story about forgiveness and faith. Starring Bartosz Bielenia as Daniel, along with Aleksandra Konieczna, Eliza Rycembel, Leszek Lichota, Łukasz Simlat, Tomasz Zietek, and Barbara Kurzaj.

Corpus Christi (Boże Ciało) director Jan Komasa: "I was looking for a moment in the film that sort of detaches from just storytelling.” Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze
During dinner at Il Gattopardo across the street from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Corpus Christi (Boze Cialo) director Jan Komasa told me that he is a “big fan” of Andrey Zvyagintsev and his films Loveless and Leviathan. Jan’s composers Evgueni Galperine and Sacha Galperine also scored François Ozon's By The Grace Of God and Barry Levinson’s The Wizard Of Lies, starring Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer with Alessandro Nivola on the Bernie Madoff scandal.
Jan Komasa on Bartosz Bielenia: “In Warsaw now he is part of Krzysztof Warlikowski, very renowned European theatre director - he is part of his troupe.”

Raúl de la Fuente’s and Damian Nenow’s adaptation of Ryszard Kapuściński’s “Another Day of Life” isn’t the first film to combine documentary footage with animated reenactments, but it may be the first one that’ll make you wonder when the tutorial mission will begin, and you can finally start playing along for yourself.
“Another Day of Life” dramatizes three months of journalist Kapuściński’s life in Angola, in the midst of a violent Civil War. The streets were literally clogged with dead bodies, and foreign powers worked their insidious influence from the sidelines in an attempt to maintain their power in the region.
Into this “Cold War chess board” arrives Ryszard Kapuściński, a Polish reporter who usually goes by “Ricardo,” who takes it upon himself to tell the world what’s really happening in this chaotic corner of the world. His goal, he decides, is to...

Nothing’s allowed to derail the guests of a Polish wedding from having fun, not even the groom’s epileptic seizure. You just pick him up and cart him out. Send the ambulance away so it won’t scare the crowd, pump him full of meds to even him out, and simply bring out more vodka to spike the punch and confuse everyone’s equilibrium when the revelers start spreading rumors that he’s been possessed by a Jewish demon. We aren’t celebrating the union of man and wife after all, this is an excuse to go wild and revere the bride’s father as an unforgettable host. So what if those rumors are true and there’s at least one set of skeletal remains beneath our feet. We can worry about all that tomorrow.
