Laweczka (2004)
You probably have better things to do than watch this movie
For a Polish movie produced in recent years - quite bearable; however after ca. an hour I thought just: 'please... end! how long is it going to last?!' And so on.
I reckon it's the screenplay's fault. Not the dialogues, though, for these were even digestible. The plot is kinda'...over-thought. Acceptable - as long as in the theatre - in the cinema it needs much patience.
The actors... Fraszynska - OK, though Kasia's behaviour is a little bit irrational (well, that isn't necessarily actress' fault). Zmijewski, unfortunately: wooden. Does he act the same all the time? Maybe, it wasn't THAT bad, but instead of Piotr, I've seen... e.g. Dr. Burski. Wooden is better than paper, though, for it's reliable at least. But dull. However, it wasn't tragic in comparison to walk-on actors. A nightmare. Applause and appreciation to Artur Pontek for the role of Rudy.
Technic, technic. Cinematography doesn't scare nor enthuse. It might be good (the director of cinematography is, nota bene, Fraszynska's husband). Music... it teased me a bit.
So did horrible product placement. It was a 90-minute-advertisement. 'Let me buy you a c--e.' 'I'll have a s---e and t-c-t--s, please.' 'I'm A--n's consultant.' You just want to stick your fingers in your forehead and pull them down... Awww...
Four out of ten. For a Polish movie. And for Pontek only.
Léon (1994)
Going into raptures!
There are movies that shouldn't be graded, because you can do it in only one way. Tha classic. Usually one lacks in words of description and praise. Therefore, only few words about 'Leon.' I've seen it for the second time recently, so I didn't have to pay all my attention to perfectly constructed plot and I could enjoy tasting many other things. Mainly the music. It pervaded me, I almost got high. Gorgeous. I can't find any words to describe it. Viva Eris Serra! And finely interspersed Bjork and Sting.
The cinematography may be not terrific, but combined with editing which makes a specific mood it creates true masterpiece.
Perfect ratio between comedy, drama and action. Splendid acting. I go into raptures!
