Sztuka kochania. Historia Michaliny Wislockiej

Very nicely done.

What a remarkable woman!

The movie is on Netflix in Polish with English, French and subtitles. Highly recommend, do not miss!

The acting is superb. The story is told in a very light and humorous way. No propaganda or anti anything.

The same taboos were happening in western non communist countries. It is a fact worldwide.

I enjoyed learning about a little history of Poland.

This is the story of a Dr. who wants to publish her book on female sexuality in Polland during the 70s. If that is not interesting enough for you, this film is about a very different view of love, love as sexual satisfaction, love as a role in life, love as a moral value. With an amazing develop of the main characters, some humor, and quality in all production and direction departments, this film is a great respite for female sexuality.

I watched this movie believing that it might have a complex story yet was grossly disappointed. If you remove all of the sex scenes where the women are treated as pure objects on display, you will lost about half of the movie. This may be an autobiography which gave me enthusiasm in the beginning but the story-line falls flat. The only lingering effect is the typical misogyny of a director using this opportunity to exploit women instead of telling a quality story. If your actresses have to get naked to tell a story, you are doing it wrong.

A fight against backwardness is always very difficult. The story of Michalina Wislocka shows how tough it can be, but at the same time - how important it is to be persistent and keep fighting the good fight, even though the enemy seems to be so strong. This story is important also today, when the place of communist apparatchiks has been taken by nationalists and conservatives who'd gladly remove any mentions of 'the art of loving' from the public discourse as well.

Well made movie, with some minor slips, but overall a bitter-sweet, well acted story.

This film brings a half-century of Poland history through the eyes of a doctor. The movie timing is not linear whats brings a screenplay freshness through the characters lives. The main one, doctor Michaliny Wislockiej spent her life trying to publish a book on female orgasm. For doing so, she received a lot of support from her female patients to publish it. But, the power relations between the church and the communist regime in Poland prevented the book to be released and the empowering of such a revolutionary doctor. The screenplay shows two separated and interconnected stories. The first one is about how to release a book on female sexual pleasure in the Eastern country communist regime. The second one tells us about the loves stories and sexual adventures where Michaliny was the protagonist. As she said in the book opening: "A blind can´t write about colors". Great film!
