A pretty good comedy with political undertones. As is often the case with Polish films, I felt like a lot of the politics went over my head. It didn't help that there were no subtitles for any of the signage in the movie -- lots of untranslated banners, posters, and newspapers obviously carried some kind of meaning, but it wasn't always easy to decipher from the context. There seemed to be some criticism of the Communist Party (Piszczyk's colleagues are suspicious of him for being too enthusiastic), but it was made while the Communists were in power... so maybe not? Perhaps the Party in Poland wasn't as oppressive as elsewhere. As a comedy, it works quite well. Piszczyk's "bad luck" is largely the result of his own cowardice, deception, pride and duplicity. There's a lot of amusing editing tricks, and Piszczyk's childhood is told as an old-style nickelodeon one-reeler. Kobiela is a very good comic actor, and the rest of the cast is just fine too. Roman Polanski, who was an assistant director on the film, has a tiny role, but since you only see him from far away you'd never know it was him.

It's said that comedy doesn't travel but this

it's said that comedy doesn't travel but this polish film is one of the funniest foreign films i have seen. like a comedic version of 'il conformista', it chronicles one man's attempts to fit in, be successful, meet women and find happiness, all of which come to nought as in his view, he is constantly plagued with bad luck. the film covers a lot of ground historically including the years before, during and after ww2 and plays as a satire on poland's heroic view of itself. a bit slapstick for me or i'd give it 5 stars easily. great work by director munk

This goes on a bit too long, but

This goes on a bit too long, but much of this is brilliant and hilariously hopeless. It tells the story of Jan, a shallow and ignorant man, who drifts through decades of Polish history without any real understanding of his actions. Part slapstick comedy, part moral tale, the film suggests that national history progresses not by way of self-sacrifice and heroics but by cowardice and self-delusion.
