The Reverse (2009)
9/10
Polish film noir compares with the best
25 January 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Sophisticated dark comedy/ Thriller film noir set in Stalinist Poland of the 50ies plays out perfectly the times where fear for the party ruled every day life and only an abundance of Wodka could smooth things out.

Spinster and plain Jane Sabina, leads an uneventful life sharing an apartment with her mother and grandmother, working for a Warsaw publishing house. Just when almost given up on finding a husband, she runs seemingly by chance into mysterious macho Bronislaw, perfectly casted Dorocinski. Quickly how ever the reason for the suitor is revealed. The women have to stick together to get out of this one.
