A con man (Piotr Fronczewski) gets out of jail and is soon up to his old tricks. He starts small, but his grifts quickly grow more elaborate and far-reaching, until he’s entangled all manner of local politicians and government ministers in his chicanery, culminating with his grand impersonation of an Austrian diplomat. Miroslaw Bork’s dry-witted Polish comedy won the Best Director award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in 1989.

Quote:
Two sisters, a journalist and a student, are struggling with financial problems. They decide to save their budget by stealing from wealthy men. They break into their apartments through windows in order to realize their American dream..

Quote:
Magda (Maria Pakulnis) after the divorce moves into the room of her sister Ewa (Adrianna Biedrzyńska), a student at the Academy of Physical Education. The sisters are struggling with financial problems: Magda loses her job at the editorial office and Ewa struggles to survive on her scholarship. Their every step is followed by a nosy landlady (Danuta Szaflarska). When the possibility of a joint trip to New York appears, they decide to get money for Magda’s plane ticket. The women spiders climb on ledges and break in through windows into the apartments of wealthy men, the upstarts of wild capitalism. Banquets and bazaar scenes show the revival of the economy in private business and speculation. At one banquet, women meet American investors and fly overseas with them. Climbing the skyscrapers overseas is even more exciting. True, they will return with nothing, but they are destined to live the good life inherited from their old landlady, a retired bank clerk. The actresses, Maria Pakulnis and Adrianna Biedrzyńska, created a rare female duet in a Polish comedy (the scene in the phone booth reminds us of the classic “Lekarstwa na miłość” with Kalina Jędrusik and Krystyna Sienkiewicz). The sisters are their opposites: the pious, modest and athletic younger one and the emancipated, elegant and eloquent older one. “The Cobwebs” is the only thriller comedy in the oeuvre of Barbara Sass, a classic of women’s cinema in Poland, based on a screenplay by director and cinematographer Wieslaw Zdort. The idea for a film for a wide audience was born after the author came back from an American scholarship, in the period of the crisis of financing auteur cinema in Poland during the transformation. The WFiD production was co-financed by PZU, Polish Lottery Monopoly, British Airways, Puma and Kodak. Music for the film was composed by Rubik, and songs were performed by Edyta Górniak.

Quote:
Set during Martial Law in Poland and centers on the young widow of an attorney who defended activists during political trials. The woman finds herself unable to deal with her husband’s death. The spirit of the departed intervenes in her life and the widow constantly feels this presence. Her longing for her deceased husband ultimately leads her to commit suicide. The storyline of the heroine’s personal experiences is intertwined with that centering on the political trial of a young worker. In the film, Kieślowski offers a series of reflections on the political stance of society and the professional ethics of lawyers.
