Jancio Wodnik (1993)
One of the best Polish movies
This is specific movie for the polish cinematography. This is a story about some ordinary man from the middle of nowhere - Jancio (Johnny). One day he gets some kind of power. His ability is to healing people using water. He's leaving home and start traveling over the world. He feels some kind of mission and is curious of the world around. He meets one strange man on his road - Stygma (Stigmatic), whose is a false sufferer. Together they getting strange occasions to learn about real things and the mob. Jasio stays famous man. Has mob behind backs till the day of birth of his son. Because little boy has a pig's tail and main character can't heal him, Jasio loses his abilities and the mob hates him. Jasio is coming home.
At that movie I've found my favorite actor. It's Franciszek Pieczka. His role and acting are gorgeous. This actor can play peoples whose thinking about live all the time. Like on "Zywot Mateusza" he is a man with deep heart inside his body.
The second place is taken by Boguslaw Linda alias Stygma. It is the best of Linda's role of ever. It's not like the other movies with him. He is not the same "macho" guy (saying vulgar whole the time) like on later movies (Psy, Psy 2, all polish-gangsta' style). He should go this way for the rest of his acting. I think that this is the only movie when Boguslaw has shown his skills. The rest is silence...
Everyone should see that art.
P.S. Sorry for my poor language ;)
Symetria (2003)
Good movie 'bout Polish jails.
An innocent man goes to jail being charged for beating some old woman (with deathly result). He's got no alibi and the only witness of the incident recognize him and die few days later (very old woman). Now he's trying to live in the new environment.
Will it change him? How can he handle that? What side of prisoners he'll choose (git-men or mug)?
You must see it yourself.
In my opinion: That movie shows polish prison in excellent way. And the young actor should get a medal for playing. You'll got few minutes for thinking 'bout your innocence.
