Imagine (2012)

Jakimowski makes visually beautiful films. This one is no exception. It tells the story of a progressive professor extraordinaire who wants to teach blind children how to orientate in space without their

Panaceum (2013)

Without giving too much away – this film seems to be for the first part an antimanifesto – a voice against the pharmaceutical lobby bearing power over society in the US. Luckily, this film is more than

Przelotni kochankowie (2013)

Entitled in English as the tagline of a famous song “I’m so excited” which is performed brutally and emphatically during the film’s climax. We have the unity of time, place and action as per Aristotle’s

Wielki Gatsby (2013)

Almost a musical, but not quite. Almost a burlesque, but not really. Almost. It is definitely a matter of taste what has been done here with the breath of history. Charleston, foxtrot, tonnes of sequins,

Interview with Tobias Tobbell - writer director of film "Confine"

Tobias Tobbell interview held in London in October 2012 during the Raindance Film Festival. Filmaster: Hello Tobias, Many thanks for agreeing to do this interview. We've met for the first time two

Był sobie dzieciak (2012)

To nie jest film o Powstaniu Warszawskim, to nie jest film o bohaterskich Polakach. To film opowiadający dzieje tych, którzy w Powstaniu nie walczą. Przynajmniej dopóki historia ich do tego nie zmusi.

Pan Lazhar (2011)

Raj: Miłość (2012)

2012 contestant in Cannes for the Palme d’Or against Michael Haneke’s Amour. Teresa is a lonely woman post her prime. Overweight, unable to communicate with her teenage daughter, at work dealing with

Operacja Argo (2012)

One of the 2013 Oscar contenders. Made with meticulous attention to detail – reflecting the late 1970′s and early 1980′s. Costumes, gadgets/props (as glasses, hairdos) bring to mind childhood memories

Django, Unchained - by Quentin Tarantino (2012)

I didn't really want to go and see it. But well, it did get a Bafta and the Academy nomination for script, so I eventually did watch it. Great costumes, seductive music, very good acting. All of that

Wróg numer jeden (2012)

I perceive this film as a demonstration of power. The way in which an American CIA agent ‘owns’ his prisoners makes me strongly uncomfortable. Although, I have been aware of the unthinkable methods of

Wróg numer jeden (2012)

Ten film wzbudza sprzeciw. Ten film wzbudza bunt. Przeciwko imperialistycznym zachowaniom Ameryki wobec krajów okupowanych i ich mieszkańców. Nie sądziłam, że mogłabym używać powyższej nomenklatury kiedykolwiek,

Sugar Man (2011)

This film is a must watch for several reasons. One - because it is a fascinating story, two because of the incredible music and three and probably most of all for the cinema geeks out there - the cinematography

Gangster Squad. Pogromcy mafii (2013)

There are some films that leave a bitter aftertaste when you get back home from the cinema after the screening. It’s not that there is something wrong with them. But something isn’t right either. This

Z dystansu (2011)

Adrien Brody is a replacement teacher who only teaches English until the end of the semester before the proper teacher gets hired. The film pictures the crisis of the institution of school, the burning

2012 in the cinemas - a subjective summary

Please note Top 10 is as always presented in no particular order. 1) The Dark Knight Rises by Christoper Nolan. Sadly this film will be remembered for a long time because of the Aurora massacre when

Broken by Rufus Norris (2012) - review

Was the script so good that such fine actors as Tim Roth and Cillian Murphy agreed to take part in this project or is this film so good thanks to those two gentlemen? Perhaps, as with everything - just

Hobbit: Niezwykła podróż (2012)

The long awaited adaptation of my favourite childhood books. As disappointed as I was when I watched the Lord of the Rings back in 2001, I did not set my hopes too high this time. Hence, no real disappointment
