Product Description

Poland released, PAL/Region free DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: SPOKEN LANGUAGE: POLISH Dolby Digital 2.0; SUBTITLES: ENGLISH, FRENCH; FULL SCREEN 1,33:1; BLACK&WHITE; SYNOPSIS: An adaptation of a short story by Marek Hlasko (screenplay: Marek Hlasko, Wojciech Jerzy Has). A study of alcoholism with an excellent performance by Gustaw Holoubek as Kuba, a man who helplessly tries to battle his addiction before ultimately giving up and committing suicide. The action is limited to a single day, with camera stubbornly accompanying the protagonist in his apartment and throughout his useless wanderings about town. A purposely slow narrative tempo and expressionistic tones in the scenery combine to build a mood of hopelessness. The film depicts the state of mind of its protagonist, who finds himself in a desperate situation. Critics universally underlined the pessimism of the film, though some also noted its creative qualities.

Petla Review

Wojciech Has's debut feature film, Petla (The Noose), is a drama about an alcoholic. The story begins with a man named Kuba (Gustaw Holoubek) in his apartment. He has a woman named Krystyna visit him, and she tells him that she will return in the evening. He plans on going with her then to get treatment for his alcoholism. We absorb a lot of details in the beginning of the film trying to figure things out; it edges on the surreal and is undoubtedly has an artistic side also.

Kuba's greatest challenge is that he vacillates in his resolve. Just after deciding that staying in his apartment until night is the best way to make it until Krystyna arrives, he heads out. His reputation is well known and he is hesitant in meeting someone who will lead him back to drinking. Those who want to help him as well as those that want to push him off the cliff surround Kuba. His time out is nearly like a whirlwind and by no means an easy time for Kuba as he struggles with his alcoholism.

The entire story takes place within 24 hours and in that time we see not only what his life is like now but also what it was like for a long time. The emotions within Kuba collide; he struggles with himself as he wants to stop drinking and start a new life but he is also pulled back to his old ways. The acting is amazing and the story is unforgettable.

Petla is truly suspenseful because we don't have any idea where it will go next. The movie also has a creepy feeling to it that is suspenseful in itself, keeping the viewer slightly unnerved. Just as Kuba is haunted by ghosts of his past, watching Petla will haunt our memories as well.
