Bez wstydu (original title)
Director: Filip Marczewski
Writer: Grzegorz Loszewski
Stars: Agnieszka Grochowska, Mateusz Kosciukiewicz and Anna Próchniak
Country: Poland
Language: Polish
Incest drama Shameless (Bez wstydu) courts controversy as it tackles not only the overly-loving relationship between a young man and his older sister, but also links in Polish neo-Nazis and a Romany community. At times Filip Marczewski’s film struggles to keep a firm grip on its stretched interweaving storyline, but the core story about brother and sister is always impressive thanks to strong performances by Mateusz Kosciukiewicz and Agnieszka Grochowska.
The film, which had its international premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, is a stylishly made melodrama, though Marczewski never lets it slip into cheap sensationalism, instead letting the intensity between brother and sister to gradually develop.
