Jan Jakub Kolski – Ladny dzien aka A Nice Day (1988)
Jan Jakub Kolski1991-2000ArthousePolandShort FilmA pristine transport-stream recording of Jan Jakub Kolski’s beautiful early short film, Ładny dzień.

One suspects that Kolski perhaps now views the work as immature, given that it’s so heavily influenced by Tarkovsky, but there’s a singular vision here that’s very special. The expressive use of colour, framing and montage is utterly captivating, and the beauty of the screenshots is self-evident.Read More »
