I've become a fan of what little one gets from Polish culture from Netflix shows such as "1983" and "Rojst". (I was aware of Chopin, Kieslowski and even Gorecki, but somehow everything until 1983 registed as "European" and not specifically Polish to me). I've even been doing Duolingo exercises almost nightly for over a year now. It's great to find out about this!
- V-2 6y agoI appreciate your enthusiasm, but, being Polish, I have to say I was quite disappointed with "1983". I could tell that the screenwriter wasn't Polish before I looked it up. The core premise - that the society would flock to back the communist party in the view of the terrorist attacks, post-9/11 style - is by itself American to the bone, and totally out of sync with Polish political reality of that era.
