About :

The importance of these films lies (...) not only in acute, critical tone and a direct function of their social-economic intervention but in a general sense of social rehabilitation. For the first time in years viewers are brutally, provocatively attacked. Loses consciousness for a moment that is in front of the screen. It gives him an eloquent snippet of reality, presented with passion, without any resistance, quick and smart. (...) In the hall is the state of acute excitement. For a long time Polish film have not seen so many deep, sharp and strong feelings and thoughts as those films. (...) This is a signal that we are witnessing a great event in the history of Polish film.
