Disco Polo

The wild nineties in Poland: quick riches and synthpop are all the rage. Tomek and Rudy sense an opportunity to cause a stir in the local pop scene in this colourful comedy.

Talented, daring and willing to risk it all, nobody can hold these two charming children of the provinces back. They obtain fame, adulation and riches whilst the film's director goes beyond the clichés of cheap beats and simple lyrics to give viewers a more nuanced view of disco polo; successfully so, as evidenced by the fact that this, a work based on an often ridiculed music genre, became a box office hit. Produced without state funding and yet rich in film quotes and acting talent, this film proved an instant success with its protagonists the embodiment of the man-of-action ideal. JG
