Watched April 20. 2024.
The plot is a two-hour slog through the day-to-day life of a pre-industrial Polish farming community. The people dredge up as much drama as possible to make their lives anything more than drudgery. The plot is a 6/10.
But the joyful relief of the holidays, harvests and weddings is the point of this movie. We Americans each remember our cultural heritage because of how our ancestors celebrated the gift of life. The soundtrack consists of modern renditions of traditional music, and is breathtaking.
The live action video was painted over in an oil-painting style, then smoothed by software, to good effect.
