It was kind of you to write. The most famous of the 1980s comedy in Poland: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJLYdad6qc1_npI

[@piotrsodel3077]

All actors in this film are Polish. As for comedies, there are dozens of cult ones, created in the times of socialism or after. But check out Polish cinema, not necessarily comedies, for example "Ashes and Diamonds" - 1958. If it was made in Soviet Russia, the actors and the director would go on long holidays to Siberia.

Gestapo officer cameo is played by Emil Karewicz who, between 1967-1968 played unforgettable role of... Gestapo officer, SS Sturmbannführer Hermann Brunner in TV series "The stake greater than life".

In Polish, the combination "rz", and the letter "ż" (grammatical difference in spelling due to the peculiarity of the language) is pronounced like the French pronounce "J" (as in "Je t'aime" - I love you in French), "sz", and "cz" are kind of like English "sh" and "ch", but harder (with the tip of the tongue rolled back towards the upper palate) Finally, "ę" is like a ringing "e" (imagine hitting a guitar string that goes "twang"). so try Gjegoj' Bjętchyshtchykiehvitch

Some other Polish Comedies: Boys don't cry (2000): kzbin.info/www/bejne/onLIeYKEiJKlack A criminal comedy where student-violinist accidentally gets mixed in with a bunch of gangsters who think he stole something from them... The most known line from the movie must be "There are no bunkers..." used to point out that something might not be exactly as expected but still great. You'll see the movie you'll know what I am talking about ; ) Day of the wacko (2002): kzbin.info/www/bejne/g560oqN7rp5pqJY A day out of a life of a statistical underpaid Polish teacher. Most humour comes from relatable situations and the sometimes somewhat exaggerated reactions of the main character, whi being on already on edge gets pushed over it by small daily nuisances. From the same director comes "Nothing Funny" (1995) a comedy again, about a man on the edge. This time the main protagonist is a movie director. While he shares the name with the main character from the Wacko, this is a different person. Allegedly the director uses the name "Adaś Miauczyński" as a monicer for a person who whines a lot (in Polish "miau" is what a cat does and it does has that whining quality to it, so for Koterski this is a name for a character who goes through life whining about everything). I could not find the movie with subtitles on KZbin, only a short video about the movie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIfKfICZhJaaqJY Kiler, Kiler II 1997, 1998 - also couldn't find versions with subtitles, if you find them, give them a watch. These became a source of a lot of sayings and a large part of popular culture. You might also check out the music albums by Elektryczne Gitary who made the music for the film, I really like them! : ) Vabank, Vabank II 1981, 1985 - Comedies set in 1930's Poland. In October 1934, a famous safe cracker in Warsaw criminal circles and also a jazz trumpeter, Henryk Kwinto, is released from a prison, where he has spent the past six years. After arriving home, he discovers that his wife has already found a substitute for him in the face of a police commissioner named Karelicki. Meanwhile his old partner, Kramer, who got him arrested became a well-known bank CEO. While Kwinto is ready to forgive him he learns that Kramer was also the reason for bankruptcy and death of Kwinto's best friend. He decides to organize one more heist... Ciało - the Body, 2003; A set of surrealistic situations happening to a few characters joined by a single previous person. In a train, Goldi, a thief, is traveling with his loot. When the train stops suddenly, the luggage falls on the head of another passenger. Goldi discovers that the passenger is dead which now means that his loot killed someone... what he does not know, is that the passenger - Wolter - was already dead. Natural causes. His flatmates decided to get his body to the coast, to his family, train is cheaper than body transport. In order to make hm look presentable they stole a suit from some drunk guy on the bench they passed. That guy, however, was genuinely murdered. And then, to the surprise of the investigators, robbed of his clothes... Also, the guys that were moving Wolter's body to his family? They managed to miss the train after loading the body in, so now they have to chase it... Notable role of Rafał Królikowski, who, for the entire movie, plays a dead body. C. K. Deserters (1986) - It's 1918. A group of soldiers belonging to various nationalities, after finding themselves arrested after unexpected inspection in their military unit decide to desert from austro-hungarian army. Movie is based on a book by the same title by Kazimierz Sejda. That in turn in terms of subject matter and the type of humour is similar to Jaroslaw Hašek's books. There are a lot of comedies from the communist era as humour was a means of fighting against the system. Since the point of a joke can be not very obvious it is easier to disguise critique and to not have it censored. The master of this was a director by the name Stanisław Bareja. It could be, however, that some of the jokes might not be easily understandable without the knowledge of the life under communist regime and all the administratorial-and-political idiotisms of that system. The fact that you could not just get a passport to leave the country, that possesion of foreign currency was illegal or that illegal trade of food was a thing (as there was a time when due to shortages the sales of meat was rationed) might not be obvious to today's viewer as opposed to the contemporary audience for whom these comedies were made. Thus they remain not just a movie but also an artifact recording the reality of hard times passed. The Cruise (Piwowarski, 1970) - probably one of the best known comedies making fun of the reality of PRL Poland. There is a cruise ship going down Vistula River. A guy wants to get on, but he has no tickets, so he lies saying he's here "officially", claiming to be a cultural-education officer. Now while that positionusually was a sort of an animator, it was also often a cover for SB officers, who would spy on people and have them jailed if they spoke ill of the communist system. The news spreads like wildfire and the rest of the cruise is spent by all passangers trying to act as perfectly in line with the communist ideas of the perfect citisen as humanely possible, which obviously turns the cruise into a sort of a surrealistic situation, with all members of the party tying to make the liar happy, believing him to be an undercover secret policeman. Miś (Bareja, 1981) - A small time sports club CEO falls out with his wife. She cuts up his passport and leaves. This starts a race between them - they had a safebox in a bank in London, where they kept a hefty sum of money in dollars. First to get there gets it all! The parts that may not be clear to a modern viewer is the hurdles one had to jump through to get a passport. I hate Mondays (Chmielowski, 1971) - The action of the film takes place on an unlucky Monday in Warsaw and focuses on episodes from the lives of a dozen or so characters. Italian industrialist Francesco Rovanelli (Kazimierz Witkiewicz), who comes to Warsaw with the intention of signing a lucrative contract, unexpectedly gets lost in a foreign city. A militia officer (Andrzej Herder) in charge of the movement has to take care of his little son, who, like other children, has not been admitted to the kindergarten because of the rubella plague that prevails there, and his wife (Joanna Kasperska), who works in a matrimonial office, cannot leave her job. The delegate of the commune cooperative (Jerzy Turek) is looking for a spare part for a combine harvester and argues with the impetuous taxi driver (Adam Mularczyk), and the drunk actor Bohdan Łazuka (appearing as himself) tries to get home, walking through the awakening Warsaw led by tram tracks, in which he stuck the crank to the car. Kingsajz (Machulski, 1987) - a fantasy-comedy, which is set in a fictional liliputian realm of Drawerland, which is an allegory of a communist country. Olo Jedlina is a gnome, and while serving the government of Drawerland he is permitted to visit Kingsajz, the realm of humans. However, after getting few drops of a potion that change him to achieve human proportions he decides to stay in Kingsajz for good and he avoids shrinking by regularly drinking a soda drink called Polo-Cockta. He becomes a journalist for a popular magazine and the boyfriend of an attractive model and lives a peaceful life, although in Drawerland he is considered to be a traitor. His close friend Adaś Happs, a scientist that once helped to produce the Kingsajz potion, rebelled and escaped too. While hiding in Kingsajz he works in his secret laboratory to discover the potion formula, hoping to be able to manufacture it one day and give it to all the gnomes in Drawerland. The movie starts when Adaś finally discovers the secret and has to immediately escape from his lab which is being demolished by human sized gnome agents that tracked him down.

The C.K. stands for Imperial-royal (kaiserlich-königlich in German cesarsko-królewski in Polish), an adjective applied to all the governmental institutions in Austria-Hungary. It's one of my favorite movies ever. Fun fact: the whole Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz scene was inspired by a scene in the original "C.K Dezerterzy" novel by Kazimierz Sejda from 1937.

The movie is based on novel "przygody kanoniera Dolasa" (The adventures of gunner Dolas), but concept with the name was borrowed from another book "C.K. dezerterzy" (C.K. deserters).

[@VioletDrakka]

Fun fact: 'How I unleashed World War II' is based on novel 'The Adventures of Dolas the Cannoneer', but that scene isn't in the novel. It's based on situation from another novel - 'H.M. Deserters'. One of the characters introduces himself as Sczepan Brzęczyszczewski, born in Mszczonowieścice, municipality Grzmiszczosławice, county Trzcinogrzechotnikowo

Emil Karewicz... (the actor playing the SS officer's part). A great Polish actor. He lived very close to my Grandmum's house for a time. BTW - I just watched his part in "Selekcja" TV-theater show. He played an American police commissioner . I bet his idea of spelling English names would hurt you... :)

Czy wiecie, że esesmana o zdartym głosie zgrał jeden z największych polskich aktorów pan Emil Karewicz, który do polskiego filmu przeszedł m.in. rolą Hermanna Brunnera, głównego przeciwnika Hansa Klossa w „Stawce większej niż życie” (1967-68). Zapadł w pamięć widzów, a zagrał tylko w pięciu odcinkach. Sam aktor w jednym z wywiadów mówił "Kilka razy dałem sygnały, że chciałbym i potrafiłbym grać komediowo, niestety nie powierzono mi tego typu roli. Inni realizatorzy tego nie docenili"... Docenili, ale dopiero w 2012 r., gdy razem z aktorem Stanisławem Mikulskim (Hans Kloss) powrócił na ekran w kontynuacji serialu zatytułowanej "Hans Kloss. Stawka większa niż śmierć" w reżyserii Patryka Vegi, według scenariusza Władysława Pasikowskiego, osnutego wokół motywu Bursztynowej Komnaty.

Hands down, one of my favourite movies of all time. Some polish movies like this are just iconic in our country - sometimes because they're that good, sometimes because of such small scenes/quotes that you just can't simply forget. But honestly I think that's the older movies thing really. Fun fact from a bit different movie - polish version of Shrek (and other movies translated by Bartosz Wierzbięta) does have some extra jokes (I mean something straight out of the original script) that only Poles could get it, understood and/or recognize.

[@daras-]

Absolutely awesome movie, watch all 3 parts! I saw it so many times and still love it.

[@malaxes]

This comedy is genius but unfortunately even you will find it with subtitles the send of humour is not always translatable. For example there is a scene when he walk under the bridge full of German patrol and he hold his hands on the bridge so one of the soldiers stand on his fingers so he shouted in pain “palce” which means fingers in Polish and Germans heard it and repeated “pance?” which is tank in German and the war has started and everyone was running like crazy shouting pance.

[@Szakal_zlocisty-Canis_aureus]

that why you dont watch films with dubbing but witch subtitles.... and you know what mean this word in your language and for both side what mean this "sound"/word what they hear:/ in american film (and many others) you see it many times and you have enought brain to get what it mean in your native language, and their languages when you have joke with "misunderstanding" words -.- he will not watch with dubbing "finger" >"tank" but pl-de dialogues palce>panzer... he is not deaf XD btw in PL TV you have sometimes subtitles for other languages in this filmXD

The mentioned movie is almost 4hrs long. Divided into 3 parts ( each roughly 1h 20 minutes ): 'Escape', 'To arms!', 'Among allies'. It'a a comedy set up during WW2 and presents a lot of stereotypes about foreign nations that were popular in 60's- 70's in Poland

Originally it's from a different book. The movie was based on "Przygody kanoniera Dolasa" by K. Sławiński while the episode with Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz comes from "CK dezerterzy" by K. Sejda. Which was the base for one of my favorite Polish comedies at the same title.

[@mateuszcichocki1779]

The best polish comedy for me in 1990-2005: "Killer", "Czas surferów", "Haker", "To ja złodziej", "Chłopaki nie płaczą", "Vinci", "Wesele", "Dzień świra", "E=mc2". These are just some selected movies from my youth that I grew up with. There are even more iconic polish comedies from the 80s and earlier :)

Really recommending this one, I think it's the best old comedy to pick up and enjoy as a nonnative! I just commented on another video that you should find this clip and you did😂 From the old ones my other favorite is the TV series Elderly Gentlemen's Cabaret. From the more contemporary comedies Killer should be enjoyable too, about an "accidental" gangster 😅 On a side note a more serious good movie is Gods, showcasing our most famous cardiologist, and the communist era in Poland.
