Though perhaps low on insights, this is an evocative portrait of a brief, intense window of hedonism, self discovery and Olympic levels of self-indulgence experienced by young people on the cusp of adulthood. The director of Fuck For Forest creates an evocative portrait of a brief, intense window of hedonism for young friends in Warsaw In technique, if not the milieu, the film has some similarities to the approach employed by Roberto Minervini fo r Stop The Pounding Heart and The Other Side. Staged sequences and reality are so meshed together that it’s impossible to unpick which is which. Director Michal Marczak ( Fuck For Forest) cast the real-life characters, who play themselves, and then worked with them to develop a narrative for the film. Inhabiting the blurred hinterland between documentary and fiction, this hypnotically aimless journey through a year and a bit in the lives of a pair of young friends in Warsaw defies neat categorisation.
