Divorce Polish Style
I really don't understand the mediocre IMDb rating. Rozwodnicy (Divorce) is an absolute joy. The script is clever, showing the discrepancy between a civil divorce and the cumbersome, well-nigh impossible 'nullification' the Catholic Church grants. Without mocking the Church, the film gently pokes fun at an age-old (but man-made) institution.
The three main characters as well as the supports are all well-rounded, their situations quite plausible yet amusing and their dialogue, albeit quite direct, really nuanced.
Divorce is deftly directed, filmed and edited. The use of a school orchestra is a brainwave and adds to the fun.
Divorce is perhaps not great art, yet it's great entertainment.
