KINOPOLIS: A CAT WITH A DOG + Q&A

Director: JANUSZ KONDRATIUK

102 mins, Poland, 2018, Digital, Subtitled.


This film screened on 6th December 2018.

Estranged brothers Janusz (Robert Więckiewicz) and Andrzej (Olgierd Łukaszewicz) are both acclaimed filmmakers. When word is received that Andrzej, the elder of the two, has suffered a debilitating stroke, Beata (Bozena Stachura), aware that she has never met her brother-in-law, encourages her husband Janusz to reconnect with his sibling. When it becomes apparent that Andrzej’s own wife Iga (former Kinopolis guest Aleksandra Konieczna, The Last Family) is neither willing nor able to offer her husband the care that he needs, Janusz takes him in, and the two slowly and grudgingly begin to re-establish their fraternal bond. This warm-hearted and moving comedy is based on the director’s own experiences, and benefits from excellent performances by its four main actors.

Please note that only persons 18 years and over will be admitted to this screening.
