My review of Wojciech Smarzowski’s scabrous The Dark House, an ultra-black comedy set either side of the 1981 martial-law crackdown in Poland that more than confirms the promise of his debut The Wedding (easily my favourite of the clump of post-2000 Polish films given a UK cinema release in 2007-08), has just been published as a web exclusive. It’s getting its British premiere at Kinoteka on 31 March prior to a screening in Edinburgh on 4 April – but if you can’t make those screenings, the Polish Blu-ray is definitely English-subtitled, and the DVD claims to be too.
