Afilm portraying the painstaking life of a 44 year literature professor with obsessive-compulsive behaviour. Divorced, pedantic and frustrated his life consists of a series of rituals performed around the simplest every tasks. Capturing his unbearable stagnation and anger, the film is about isolation and loneliness

A part of the series about Adam Miauczyński, a bitter story about a middle-aged aggressive and desperate man who ironically reads poetry to children. Adam Miauczyński is the embodiment of fear, obsession and hatred. “This is my wackiest project – just like the main character is wacky. Despite this, or maybe because of this – I trust that more than one member of the audience will identify with him” says Marek Koterski.

Suffering from a number of imaginary health problems and feeling empathy for the hunger and poverty in the world, Adam Miauczyński, played by Marek Kondrat, reduces his everyday life to a series of repetitive tasks. Constantly speaking to himself about what he is doing at every instant, his internal monologue impedes his ability to feel spontaneity. Immobilized from taking his life into his own hands, he deals with his noisy neighbours, his overbearing mother (Janina Traczykówna), his apathetic son (Michał Koterski), his bitchy ex-wife (Joanna Sienkiewicz).

A black comedy with “humor ranging from sublime to nutty”, Time Out London calls it a “dolefully absurdist Polish comedy of dejection and rejection” while Variety’s Eddy Cockrell comments,

A nonstop screwball screed against the multitude of perceived indignities in contempo Poland, and, by association, the modern world, irreverent social comedy “Day of the Wacko” sports a frazzled leading perf from Marek Kondrat as a histrionic misanthrope that makes Jack Nicholson’s turn in “As Good as It Gets” look positively serene.

One has to just think of a great film featuring a war and a train would automatically come to mind. While Czech cinema gave its immortal classic, ‘Closely watched trains’ directed by the legendary director Jiri Menzel to the admirers of cinema, Polish cinema also had its fair share of films depicting war where trains have played a major role. ‘Ludzie Z Pociagu’/’People on a train’ is one brilliant example of a war film featuring innocent people whose lives depended a lot on the running of a train. In this film, director Kazimierz Kutz depicts how an act of heroism involving the seizure of a gun is responsible in allowing the viewers to get a better idea of the microcosm of Polish society. A motley group of ordinary polish citizens is depicted which include smugglers, a widow, a pair of young lovers, a young boy who has lost two brothers in war etc. The film begins with a senior rail employee explaining the importance of trains which stop even in a remote station in Poland to his female assistant. Although it has a lot of suspense, ‘People on a train’ doesn’t ignore to highlight its humanist concern as it shows how people of different beliefs and values can team up to defeat their common enemy. Actor Jerzy Blok who plays the role of station master Kalinski emerges as a clear winner as it is solely through his sheer genius and patience, innocent lives are saved. ‘People on a train’ has been shot entirely on location in Kuriany, a remote village in Bialystok province.(FilmCriticLalitRao)
