With much thanks owed to some excellent set decoration, this Polish film has a very authentic feel to it, and it is all captured well by the cinematographer, with great angels and good use of panning. The film has a number of striking moments as well as some solid bits of character study. The final fifteen or so minutes are dragged out beyond reason, but there is not much other than this and the noticeably non-professional acting that weigh against this incredible, very different cinematic experience. It is well done generally all round, even on an audio level, with some great sound work and music choices to accompany the action.
