Bird Talk

Not Rated
Movie

Polish
Drama
Based on a script by Andrzej Żuławski, this is a fascinating on-screen dialogue between father and son that combines nostalgia and fury, the sublime with humor, and old-school style with a sharp, penetrating look at Polish reality. The eponymous bird talk is the language used by those excluded from the aggressive majority: a history teacher tormented by children, a teacher of Polish studies fired from his job, a girl who cleans a banker’s villa, a florist with a club foot and a student with a fascination for cinema. Pushed to the margins by the extreme right, they defend themselves with irony, songs and quotes from the classics.

The film centers on two teachers who confront nationalistic students at their school. And while the one who defends himself is expelled, the one who endures all kinds of humiliations remains in the center. This is the one who best represents the Polish society that is silent, that accepts the riots of the extreme right. Within its madness, the sometimes unbearable excesses of a chaotic directing work that loses control of itself and its characters, the film finds a certain balance between formal disorder and reflective political gaze. The proposal is more interesting when taking a break, when the tribute to the film director father is present, when the posters of his films cover the walls of the home and his masterpiece "Possession" (Andrzej Żulawski, 1982) is diegetically represented.
