The Last Family

"Exceptional camerawork and an unerring eye for period detail are boldly on display in Jan P. Matuszyński’s disturbing biopic of one of Poland’s best known 20th century painters."

"Thanks to inventive camerawork, mesmeric performances and incisive yet elliptical editing and storytelling, the claustrophobia becomes a feature instead of a liability."

"Robert Bolesto's screenplay tends to literalise its theme of unfulfilled desire by having characters explicitly lament their lost pasts."

"A dutiful and respectful chronicle of the last 28 years in the life of Poland's foremost apocalyptic surrealist Zdzislaw Beksinski."
