Krafftówna. An Actress in Wonderland
Maciej Kowalewski, Piotr Konstantinow
2021, 1 h 22 minA creative portrait of Barbara Krafftówna, an outstanding Polish actress. Successful in film, she went through a lot in her private life using imagination as a strategy to survive. Like Alice, Barbara takes us through the looking glass into a world that doesn’t exist. The film is narrated by her intimate and emotional internal monologues. They hark back to the best role in Krafftówna’s career in Wojciech Jerzy Has’s How to Be Loved, a film nominated to the Palme d’Or in Cannes.
