Plot
A man on a day of reckoning with alcohol.
Sinekatalog’s take
Wojciech Has's nightmarish drama follows an alcoholic through one day of hallucination and remorse in Warsaw. Gustaw Holoubek is outstanding in a stylised, feverish, and devastating study of addiction and despair.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
