1.) This supposedly pro-dictator...thanks, Hanna! <br /><br />1.) This supposedly pro-dictator group has some strong ideas regarding movies we should see:). Not just you, Krzys P. has an idea on the movie, too, and someone emailed me with very interesting collection of films he owns and is willing to share with OKO - I hope he posts the titles here soon, for all to see. I think perhaps we should try shared dictatorship in the future: everyone gets to rule one evening? <br /><br />2.) On the Szymborska movie: sure, as long as it has English subtitles, so we fulfill our mission of promoting Polish-themed films in PNW, and your dictator does not end up in prison over connected licensing issues.alekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017484473597055832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771519632679176016.post-76667714183416369312010-09-25T20:00:16.507-07:002010-09-25T20:00:16.507-07:00Could we see "Chwilami życie bywa znośne"...Could we see "Chwilami życie bywa znośne" (2010)?

I feel the same way about films - sometimes I want to see a documentary, sometimes a comedy, and so on. The main criteria should be that the film we choose is a good film or even a great film and that it will provoke a discussion (not every good movie does) I like voting but I can see that people may not be eager to make a choice between 4 movies, all of them not the greatest ones in their opinion, but, after looking at the next title they just want to decide if they come to the screening or not. <br />There is a general trend to watch more documentaries (look at the last Seattle Film Festival!) and I would like OKO to continue its tradition of good documentaries, at least every other month: perhaps some biographical documents about Kieslowski, Konwicki, and Szymborska... As for a feature film, I like Salto by Konwicki with Zbyszek Cybulski very, very much<br />http://www.scarecrow.com/rental-title/?title=101285<br />What else – perhaps Saragossa Manuscript? After searching in Scarecrow Video using “Poland” keyword I got a list of 309 films. Our club can live long and prosper!<br />http://www.scarecrow.com/rental/?q=polandHannanoreply@blogger.com
