People from outside the Eastern European Block don't understand that this contradicting reality is the truth. I know because they doubted my stories from Romania when I was forced to wake up at 5-6AM and wait in line for 1-2 hours to get 2 kg of milk during the 70's and the 80's. I had no reason to lie because I was making a good living in Toronto for decades and I needed no sympathy for my early life. The critics' approach looks pretentious and arrogant to me. I know why they think this way but they shouldn't judge what they don't understand. This is the reality today in Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, etc and even worst in Russia. Romanians got stoned during the gay pride in recent years and this is impossible to digest by the ignorant Americans. Nothing is new in this world and the story was told before. The idea of the movie was to show people discovering their true identity, the struggle and the beauty/ugliness in their relationships. A unique experience in one's life, if you are lucky, that gives clarity. Otherwise, it's just meaningless living. I think it was captured brilliantly, despite the unqualified critics and minor flows. This movie is only for the people that accept the complexity of the human nature. Period.

This movie of a nice quality is by no means an average nothing.

It is a pleasure to the eyes and ears, although the story is so difficult I wish I haven't seen it in the first place.

I remembered the ending from all those years ago so I basically stopped short before the end this time around. I think it may be viewed as a spoiler, but if you're not up for a tragedy - be advised against this movie. It's a pity we have this 'drama' label going on so broad nowadays. What are you getting under it you never know. Well, this one is on the verge of having you wheep through the night if you've invested in the characters.

However, it is really a great piece of art with all the beauty and metaphores in place.

I hope such a talent of a director will eventually overcome his own hunting story and start doing movies that are a bit less challenging for an average viewer.

Apparently "Floating Skyscrapers" is Poland's first 'in-your-face' gay feature. It's a particularly glum affair that will almost certainly not make you glad to be gay in Poland and which only goes to reinforce the stereotype that most Polish men are heterosexual boors who might enjoying screwing around with someone of the same sex so long as no-one knows about it and there is no real commitment. Well, maybe not since one half of the couple on display is a sensitive soul and boy, does he suffer for it. There is a fair bit of nudity, both male and female, (our hero has a girlfriend), and a lot of anguished soul-searching. What there isn't is much in the way of uplift. In other words, this is the kind of film that queer cinema ditched a long time ago. I found it painful to watch.

"Kuba" (Mateusz Banasiuk) is a young man living with his girlfriend "Sylwia" (Marta Nieradkiewicz) at his mum's house. Their existence is pretty claustrophobic, but for his swimming regimen, which introduces him to some of the extra-curricular activities in the toilets. Whilst out with her one night, he gets bored at an art gallery reception where he shares a joint with the handsome "Michal" (Bartosz Gelner). He quickly becomes infatuated with him, and gradually pushes his boundaries with the young man who is, also, dealing with issues at home. Will "Kuba" make a choice, or settle for something else, safer, more familiar? It is painfully slow at times, loads of lingering photography and "Kuba" being pensive, which grate after a while. The ending is truly horrific - from just about every imaginable perspective and rendered, I felt, the preceding 90-odd minutes almost pointless. What we could have assumed we knew about the main character, and any sympathy we might have felt goes straight under the bus. A real shame, this could have delivered something more poignant and enduring - but it didn't!

There were a few things that bothered me about this movie 1. Public sex in a homophobic environment. 2. Didnt really see the connection with the two gay lovers. 3. So i think that the twist with her being pregnant is poetic. I mean kuba had been pretending to be straight for two years. Kuba is a coward and what woman accepts that and tries to change him. 4. The ending was so abrupt and no closure i feel like the story was left hanging. Free fall was a masterpiece compared to this what was the point?
