Psy (1992)
a good movie about corruption - you do not have to be polish to understand it
Don't be put of by the daft you have to be polish to understand this movie schitck written by the other posters, it's a movie about corruption, plain and simple, and a very good one too. Also don't be put off by the barmy contention that the polish doesn't translate, there are some lines which are pretty good if you do understand polish but none of them drive the plot, certainly not the best one between Linda and a prostitute.
It's a film that explores the idea of "what next, then..." for the situation after the collapse of communism. Nothing particularly polish about that and there are movies from other ex communist countries that go over similar ground.
It should be shown in more countries because it's good. If you really must see a polish movie about polish stuff that only polish people could get their heads around, then rent yourself Pan Tadeusz.

non-starter
gaaah! I picked this film because I went to college at the time it was set and was looking for some kind of a nostalgia fest which the music certainly provided. However, the whole experience was completely skewed by the schmaltzy rom com by numbers it kept getting trapped in. I cannot imagine anybody who went to university in the mid 1980s in the UK would be able to sit through this without wanting to slap the director, which is a shame because the performances are all good. Nevertheless it's weak and cops out so much that from the point that Spencer showed up at uni, I was able to predict the way each scene was going to go for the rest of the movie.
