One of the truly wonderful Eastern European films. "Sztuczki" beautifully captures the spirit of the small post soviet town. I found it very recognizable as I come from that kind of place myself.
The relationship between reality of that kind of life and dream world is shown subtly and accurately in those characters. "Sztuczki" is a deep film, but the aftertaste is light and positive.
I particularly loved the casting – little boy, his sister, boy with motorcycle, mystery guy from the train platform, neighbors and ordinary passers-by – they all were poetical impersonations of the emotions people deal with in a town like that - boredom, longing, coping with everyday life, affection.
Beautiful filming, writing and acting.
