KINO! - The Peasants (15 Cert TBC) is the film for next month's Polish Film Talk on Sunday 5 November. The film talk at 1pm is presented by Michael Brooke, a freelance writer specialising in central/eastern European cinema. He will discuss and share Poland’s long and distinguished contribution to the history of animation, which started over a century ago with Władysław Starewicz and takes in such key names as Walerian Borowczyk, Jan Lenica, and many others along the way.
The discussion will be followed by a screening of The Peasants from the directors DK and Hugh Welchman, behind the internationally successful tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, Loving Vincent (2017). The enthralling oil painting technique has been used to adapt Władysław Reymont’s Nobel-winning epic novel (1904-9). The story spanning the four seasons, in which a young woman’s attempts to assert her independence keep coming up against the patriarchal traditions that have held sway in her village for centuries.
