Better than just a political satire

Remember watching this on TV as a post-soviet kid. I was too young to get it and somewhat enjoyed nevertheless. Just rewatched it as an adult and was not disappointed.The picture looks hilariously low-budget with its ugly effects and crumbling decorations. Despite that and despite being an abviously political satire, it manages to be amusing out of context.Not without its shortcuts, though. For example, the "Deus ex machina" twists with telepathy look too cheap, even for a fantasy world.As for the politics, at first glance it may seem to promote the boring agenda about "evil commies", but if you pay attention, it turns out a little deeper than that. And if you don't care at all, the comic part doesn't get worse.

one of the freakiest but best movies I've seen

I don't know what it is about Communism and its impact on Polish minds, but any art influenced by a hatred of it comes out awesome. Kingsajz (King Size) is another one of Machulski's satirical masterpieces. Though this movie is brilliant and slightly eerie without any background info, the insider jokes, mainly made at the expense of, you guessed it, the much hated Communist regime, will make you laugh. The movie takes absurd ideas, like soda that is actual a secret formula for un-shrinking, and little people living in a room stacked with old card catalogs, and puts them together into a philosophical movie with a very cliche yet disturbing ending.
