Smart, absurd, outrageously funny, brilliantly acting, shockingly critical, and, at least for (and perhaps other) Polish audiences that grew up under socialism, tragic and moving. Unfortunately, much of its brilliance is lost in translation, and it may not make sense for viewers who are unfamiliar with Eastern European history after the Second World War. The general plot is as defined by other reviewers; it serves as a platform for a life tour under Soviet-imposed communism, covering various social strata-from the high-rolling, corrupt Communist Party minister residing atop the Palac Kultury to the inspiring boiler room staff, drinking their lives away while the tenants are freezing. The movie is about a disintegrating world guided to everyday acts of insanity and seeing them. The portrayal is a bit exaggerated, of course, but it's not far from that time's reality. Humor can be a mighty weapon.
