Straszny Dwór

The 1920s, in Poland - a time of intense modernization and rebuilding of state identity. This modern Bauhaus building creates a framework for nostalgia. The director uses an interesting grasp - Miecznik's daughters are staging "live paintings", so popular in the interwar period - and here in the finale in Kalinów come the revival of rococo landscapes and genre scenes à la Watteau, the style of Marie Antoinette.
