ANDRZEJ BARAŃSKI, DARKNESS ELUCIDATED BY FRIENDSHIP; TALK WITH JERZY WÓJCIK [MROKI ROZŚWIETLONE PRZYJAŻNIĄ; ROZMOWA Z JERZYM WÓJCIKIEM], ‘RZECZPOSPOLITA’, 20 IV 2007

Miron Białoszewski was a talented avant-garde poet. In the morning he would write down in his diary the events of the previous day, those notes were turned into literature. His accounts of night-time trips to Anin in the company of Jadwiga Stańczakowa have the air of expeditions to the Amazon.

PAWEŁ T. FELIS, A FEW PEOPLE, A LITTLE TIME [PARĘ OSÓB, MAŁY CZAS], ‘RZECZPOSPOLITA’, 27 IV 2007

A small, great film. It is a shame it had to wait for seven years for the funds needed for its production. (…). For it is neither a hermetic portrait of an artist, nor a sketch about life at the turn of the 1970’s. Immediate Polish history appears here only in the background. The film is a story of a search for a niche in surrounding reality, about keeping a distance from everything driven by herd instincts (…). Barański’s film emanates an amazing, strong-willed power. A dissenting voice which may move both those who lived in that time and those much younger, who do not wish today to drift with the current.
