1001 movies to see before you die. An ambitious and important film. However, it dragged for me. I also didn't care about any of the characters. The female was unique, but I didn't identify with her stubbornness and the Statue man was aimless (just like communism). The funky song at the beginning and end was memorable. Regardless, it was reasonably well made and is an important work against communism. It was on youtube.

A very interesting and well shot look at

A very interesting and well shot look at Soviet propaganda about quotas and workers in 50's Poland, through the eyes of student filmmaker trying to make an indepth film about a cast down bricklayer icon. An investigation type approach to the story and the contrast between movies and reality, is what makes it really stand out and grip you because just like the character you only get snippets of truth, sometimes in isolation. It really is a standard story, about a man trying to not betray his conscience in the face of his country's policies and other people's nature. It also is a first part of a split narrative, with a really lackluster cliffhanger.
