Featured reviews
What a nice surprise of a movie! Kind of liked everything about this movie. The actors are great and don't come across like spoiled Hollywood brags. The backdrops are calming without too much overwhelming design, just simplicity of rural living. The music seems appropriately selected and the cinematography is beautifully done. Yeah, the end is predictable, but at the same time something the viewer is expecting from it, so can't fail this either. Anyways, a well deserved 10/10, and believe me when I say that I don't often give movies this rating. It's a story that needed to be told, and I'm so glad it's not done by Hollywood. Thumbs up!
The film attracts your attention with its emotional depth. While we follow what is happenning to Doctor Wilczur, we also witness the warm, hopeful love story of Marysia and Count Czynski. The cinematography, set design and music are quite impressive. Peaceful rural landscapes, villages, peasants... Everything and everyone in this movie is very native and convincing, every scene reveals the hard work done. The performances of the lead actors Leszek Lichota and Maria Kowalska add originality to their characters, I admire both of them pretty much. My only negative comment about the movie is that the ending seemed a bit rushed, they could have made a great mini-series from this movie..
I took a chance on this movie and decided to watch it without seeing a trailer first, and I'm so glad I did. I loved every minute of it! The plot and story line gave me all the feels. One moment I wanted to cry, other moments I wanted to throw my remote at the screen, and in a couple scenes I wanted to get up and dance! Some characters melted my heart while others infuriated me. It was so beautifully balanced and entertaining.
In some ways it reminded me of Les Miserables, but with a completely different storyline.
From start to finish, I loved it. I'll definitely be looking for more movies like this one.

In this day of fast paced movies with no soul and pure emptiness and quick sensual gratifications, movies like this are a rare gem. It shows how directing and story telling to be done and what essence of human life to focus on.
It has soul.
Through the challenging circumstances characters dont settle for easy gratification but instead they choose to do the right and meaningful things. Which you dont find in most mainstream movies today.
We have a lot of dysfunctional empty productions lately on all streaming medias, leaving the viewer feel depressed and empty, its movies like this that still show the promise of depth and meaning, redemption.
Watch it, you deserve a connection like this.

Znachor adaptation directed by Jerzy Hoffmann remains one of most touching films of my childhood.
So, the curiosity, some serious reserves, the certitude than Jerzy Binczycky has no pair but provocated by the courage of Michael Gazda, I saw it.
And it is far to be dissapointed experience. In fact, two virtues define it - the splendid portrait of Poland life between wars and the high loyalty to the novel.
Sure, the acting is basic virtue and the story grows up with inspired crafted dramatism. But the second virtue is the wise recreation of atmosphere, using old buildings and clothes, nice cinematography , fair use of nature.
The story is familiar and its dramatic reflexes, good use of humor drops, the dialogue are great good points. And, indeed, Leszek Lichota is fair option for Professor.
In short, just a beautiful gift.
