A polish language musical is a film I didn't know I need in my life. I was mistaken and in fact, this crazy and unique film turned into one of my faves from the entire year. The original music was incredible, the risky plot and odd tone was also something else I appreciated because I knew whenever I was watching any of this film that I was witnessing a creative team entirely in control of the story they wanted to tell. I also appreciated the fact that this was an original musical even though it was a reworking of a classic fable it was still something odd and European that no American studio would ever finance for its newness and oddness.
