ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VISTULA
POLISH TITLE: Z TAMTEJ STRONY WISŁY
A Latino atmosphere emanates from this fond observation of Warsaw’s left bank district, Praga. A documentary fresco of loose composition, the film has distinctive characteristics of Borzęcka’s style. The director is fascinated with people and looks at them as if they were artists of life performing their theatrical parts before her camera.
