GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

uurcauur Actually the atmosphere was drawn really good. The movie also gives some information about rural Polish life in that time. Actors play really good. So the movie is one of the classics from Polish cinema. The movie also includes some jokes about accent, so it is difficult to catch for audiences who watch with subtitle. But still story included funny situations.

galaxia6 This is definitely a classic you won't see on TCM !! The tells a story of a two Polish families that were rivaling with each other !! For Ages This time the old dated eastern peasant families must adobt to a new Socialist style of living however can the Soviet Imposed regime handle old eastern peasant and change the peasants into communistic farmers ! OR will the Socialist way of thinking need to adapt to those peasant ! Knowing the eccentricity of such People the second option seems more reliable ! Can the Communist apartship stop the fighting between Kargul and Pawlak or will they be forced to keep on eye on not quite favoubor image of Polish peasantry ! Tons of fun I suggest watching it to all people ! giving the time the movie was made it was a very brave FILM !!

MuffinMan747 This movie glorifies the worst stereotypes of migrants from eastern Poland: lazy, argumentative, unable to find consensus even with the closest neighbour. I myself cannot find anything funny in this kind of behaviour. What's real is not funny. Comedies rely on exaggeration, which Mis (Poland, 1980) is the best example of, but this one is not so much exaggerated. Fortunately there are better examples of Polish culture.Suggested solution: recycle all copies.

Hairy_Lime Actually, the first three or four times I saw this movie, it was in Polish (my wife's native tongue) without English subtitles. She tried to translate the jokes for me, for a while, but soon gave up because she was laughing too much. Now that I have seen the movie subtitled, I laugh as hard as she does.
