Spring has sprung — and so has the urge to watch erotic thrillers. Thankfully, Netflix just teased the highly anticipated sequel to 2020’s “365 Days,” premiering April 27.
The Polish film, based on author Blanka Lipińska’s sensual novel, busted Netflix records after debuting in 2020. Its follow-up, “365 Days: This Day,” picks up after the cliffhanger ending of the first film, directed by Barbara Bialowas and Tomasz Mandes.
Michele Morrone returns as Massimo, a member of a Sicilian mafia family who kidnaps stranger Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) after obsessing over her for years. Massimo challenges Laura to fall in love with him over the course of a year; otherwise, he will set her free.

One of the major appeals of signing up to any streaming service is that it essentially acts as a media buffet, offering plenty of options from almost every genre imaginable that appeal to the interests of any viewer depending on what they’re in the mood for, and a quick glance at the titles that have been dominating Netflix recently only reinforces that notion.
The Last Days of American Crime proved to be hugely popular despite being named as one of the worst movies of the year, while just a week later Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods arrived and almost instantly gained a reputation for being almost the exact opposite. In times of social unrest, we’ve seen The Help reach the top of the charts as well, much to people’s dismay, while the recent debut and subsequent popularity of Hannibal has now convinced fans that a full-blown...

Netflix subscribers don’t quite know what to make of 365 Dni, a Polish drama causing a lot of buzz online for its numerous sex scenes between a crime boss and the woman who he takes hostage, giving her 365 days to fall in love with him.
Also known simply as 365 Days, the pic has been responsible for some considerable controversy lately as, quite frankly, it makes Fifty Shades of Grey look like a PG movie. Yes, the love scenes are that intense and racy and have many wondering just how they filmed them.
Well, speaking to Variety in a recent interview, cinematographer Bartek Cierlica opened up on that very topic. When asked about the Bdsm scene in particular, Cierlica had this to say:
Each sex scene in this movie is different. The relationship evolves. It starts with fear of the unknown and temptation. It evolves through pure sex with Bdsm and ends with love.

If there’s one movie on Netflix that everybody’s streaming, it’s the Polish sex odyssey “365 Days,” which currently sits at No. 1 on the platform’s Top 10 most-watched films in the U.S. What’s being dubbed “the Polish ’50 Shades of Grey'” topped the charts shortly after its June 7 premiere, drawing eyes for its already infamously graphic sex scenes about a mafia man who kidnaps an alluring woman after failing to protect his father from being assassinated. Massimo (Michele Morrone) gives Laura (Anna Maria Sieklucka) exactly 365 days to fall in love with him, or else she’s free to return to her unhappy life in Poland.
