DESCRIPTION

Millennials’ Innocent Sorcerers. This feature film portraying Polish 20-year-olds is also a documentary overview of Warsaw resounding with music. The story is governed by party night rules: its characters never mention politics and its creators do not lay out a sociological background; the film does not have an unnecessary moralizing tone either. The camera follows the three carefree eccentrics, compiles a collection of drunken bon mots, draws on the characters’ healthy selfishness and feeds on their hunger for experience. In the least expected moments, All These Sleepless Nights is also a homage to the cinema of Andrzej Wajda, Tadeusz Konwicki, and Jerzy Kawalerowicz.
