    dark and haunting

    I was fortunate enough to be able to see this film in Berlin, with director/co-writer Lech Majewski present. As a fan of "Basquiat" it was interesting to compare the chaos of Wojaczek's life to Basquiat's. This is a dark story, filmed appropriately in black and white about a Polish poet and his love/hate relationship with his life and the people in it.
