Kraj świata

Kraj świata 1994

1

The film does not have a linear plot or characters in the traditional sense. It consists of a sequence of episodes from everyday Polish life. Here the militia hunts down innocent passers-by, but election posters of the "Lech team" are already hanging on the walls. Barely have the limousines with wreaths left from under Dzerzhinsky's monument, and already the statue of the "great revolutionary" is hanging on a crane as if on a noose. There are still queues for everything and everyone dreams of getting "equally," and already Janusz Korwin-Mikke is proclaiming the end of socialist "unionism." The guides in this crazy and ironic world are two writers, commenting on the surrounding reality. The film is as much a satire on the era of "communism" as it is of "Solidarity." In place of the old stupidity comes a new one.
