MA NOTE

Jan Frycz, Malgorzata Kozuchowska, Cezary Zak, Michal Koterski, Antoni Pawlicki, Agnieszka Wiedlocha, and Rafal Zawierucha in Gierek (2022)

A film about a man with a breakthrough history of Poland in the background. Edward Gierek is one of the most important figures of the 20th century in the collective memory of Polish people. Even though he stands in line with notables like John Paul II, Jozef Pilsudski or Lech Walesa, film industry hasn't noticed him yet. Janusz Iwanowski and Jolanta Owczarczyk, producers, decided to fill this gap. The film is set in the years 1970-1982, when Edward Gierek becomes First Secretary of the Central Committee of the PZPR (Central Committee of the Polish United Worker's Party) until his internment. It won't be a political film. The audience will see Edward Gierek behind the scenes of his political power. Family relations that have never seen the light of day are an essential part of this story.

Drama

Absolutely dramatic in every way. Dramatic acting, editing and screenplay. A movie that knows Polish history is simply offensive. A conglomerate of idiotic nonsense.

Bad acting, bad storytelling,

It's an interesting part of Polish history and I was excited to see it on screen. Pictures, acting, scenography, dialogue was so bad that I actually left 30 min before finale - doesn't happen, ever... maybe I'll watch the end when in becomes available on streaming platform just for a sake of it ... See it for yourself...

Awful

To make a hero from a traitor, from a communist. Unbelievable.

The movie itself from a technical point of view is not any better.

The actors were cast from nearby villages I guess.

Gierek - he wanted well, and it came out in Polish

A film that ex-communists will not like, and there are still some of them in Poland. The film evokes feelings of amusement and despair in Polish viewers. Older viewers may recognize certain facts from the era, but only by watching this film can they find the answer to the question why and how?

But how much truth is there in it?

Poland has never accounted for the wrongs suffered by red compatriots.

Certainly, the film will arouse a lot of emotions ... extreme, from left to right.

Controversial and possibly deceiving

I kinda liked the story, although I have no idea if it was true. After all, this isn't a documentary. However, the film seems a bit controversial, as there are still hundreds of thousands of communists and soviet union lovers in contemporary Poland. Some of them believe that Gierek was a traitor, while others think that he was a genuine patriot who wanted to improve the country's economy. The film shows just one of these approaches. Now, what I didn't like was the acting, especially that of the pivotal figure played by Michal Koterski. Ugh, he was just so unfit for the part... He's just a bad actor, that's all.
