Gary Stretton This film stands tall for its honest portrayal of humanity in the face of being used as a scape-goat. Edi deserves your attention - it will move you, make you angry, sad and possibly bring tears for both. It doesn't lapse into mere sentimentality however. A life-affirming experience. I watched it on DVD but relish the chance to see it on the big screen. The English sub-titles related the story without affecting continuity or plot, or removing any of the film's subtlety or nuances, found in its native Polish language.The cinematography brought to life a Poland of two kinds - the harsh reality of city life and the pastoral beauty and salvation of the countryside. Poland's own transition since Solidarity seemed to be similarly mirrored. Edi's existence as an educated man forced into a seedy subculture in the city never compromises his own self-belief and therein the true hero lies. Wrongly accused of rape, his life is at the mercy of two crime-lords. Self-sacrifice as a means to redemption isn't Hollywood but that's where the humanity of Edi lies.

eddy_piunow This movie is one of the best Polish movies and one of the best movies Í have ever seen. You see the Poland with eyes of a simple person. The person who doesn't even got a proper place to live. And then his day of life, like every day, trying to find something with his friend, something to sale, than sale it, buy some vodka, go to sleep, live on. I mean, the story is quite simple, but the way we see is completely different. There is some much magic,love, some much to think about, some many simple things that come deep in your heart - again and again. That's how the proper, great movie has to look like, this how the great movie must be.

piotros Great and extraordinary film!Shows the boredom, reality and dreams of people, like Edi.This film made me change my way of living - money is not all we need..Don't you think? Very touchable story, fairy tale about our world full of creed, haste but also feelings.
