I survived until 10:02 of this hell. How come I know that? Well, that's when the worst bit of dialogue I ever heard takes place.

'Comrades, will you help?' No, here only a bit of vodka could...

BTW for those unaquainted with the Polish political scene, I'd like to point out that Mr Wos, the screenwriter for this terrible bit of cinema, is about as sane as Mr Trump and about as left-leaning as Bernie Sanders. Hope this give you an idea...

To make a hero from a traitor, from a communist. Unbelievable.

The movie itself from a technical point of view is not any better.

The actors were cast from nearby villages I guess.

I kinda liked the story, although I have no idea if it was true. After all, this isn't a documentary. However, the film seems a bit controversial, as there are still hundreds of thousands of communists and soviet union lovers in contemporary Poland. Some of them believe that Gierek was a traitor, while others think that he was a genuine patriot who wanted to improve the country's economy. The film shows just one of these approaches. Now, what I didn't like was the acting, especially that of the pivotal figure played by Michal Koterski. Ugh, he was just so unfit for the part... He's just a bad actor, that's all.
