Seksmisja
Kieslowky, Wajda, and we put indirectly, Roman Polansky. The great
cinema of Poland with great directors and full of intense art movies
are
find among its most successful and beloved episodes this "Seksmisja" or
"Sex Mission" if you prefer. A Title full of suspect, for a movie in
non suspect times. 1984
A sci-fi divide between the comic and sexy. Very strange, very
suspicious that such a trivial subject has generated a cult film, that
the Poland audience after poll have crowned as the most beautiful movie
of the past thirty years.
The trick is there but not seen. We must say that "Seksmisja" does not
deserve to be on this blog of "B Movies", because after seeing it you
realize that this film by Juliusz Machulski is a masterpiece of refined
intelligent satire.
A film that is sexy, comic and sci-fi, but that hides skilfully
critique the then Polish society, ie the communist regime. Not by
chance had any problems of censorship and not coincidence Machulski's
career continued with the same key, making him an uncomfortable for the
regime, but beloved director.
"Seksmisja" succeeds in the attempt to describe and criticize a society
in which citizens are subjugated by a regime that denies primary mind
and freedom.
It Overdo really too much while it describe the "other side" that seem
perfect in every aspect. While ... well ... you know. But this is the
only flaw for a movie that puts in his satire and zany sexy scenes that
lighten the background and move away the usual "suspicious". We would
like to see a little 'more than comic game between the two
protagonists, a major development of the characters, but this just to
make precise.
The story of "Seksmisja" starts in the future. Ie in 1991, which in
hindsight would not have had the socialist system. Far from being able
to read the future Machulski places two volunteers who undergo a trial
of hibernation, designed as usual by an scientist with handicap
(Hawkins has also inspired the Poles!).
The two, however, instead of waking up a few years later, find
themselves in 2044 and soon discovered that the world that they know
has been supplanted by a system of women, where men are banned,
banished, erased from history and supplanted by a precise process of
parthenogenesis. This women civilization lives in a huge skyscraper
underground well protected from the outside world full of radiation.
After several attempts to convince the regime's own goodness, and
especially after having tried to escape, so comical, they can with the
help of a "rebellious" escape and see the reality obscured by the
regime and the lies of the same.
Various thin and comparisons with the society of the time are present
in the movie. The meeting of the "Party" ("The League") to the events
of Lech Walesa and his jump of the wall and of course the Berlin Wall.
Let us always remember that we are in 1984.
Another key, you can find more superficially is the conflict between the sexes, even if it represents a secondary objective.
In the cast are Olgierd Lukaszewicz and Jerzy Stuhr two real stars in
their country, which are of institutional roles Polish films in
addition to winning numerous awards abroad. In the large sample female
emerges Beata Tyszkiewicz the "first lady" of Polish cinema, which has
had the honor of working with the best directors of his country.
