Poland · 2019
2h 18m
Director Xawery Żuławski
Starring Sebastian Fabijański, Eryk Kulm, Andrzej Chyra, Jaśmina Polak
Genre Drama

Based on a script by Andrzej Żuławski, this is a fascinating on-screen dialogue between father and son that combines nostalgia and fury, the sublime with humor, and old-school style with a sharp, penetrating look at Polish reality. The eponymous bird talk is the language used by those excluded from the aggressive majority: a history teacher tormented by children, a teacher of Polish studies fired from his job, a girl who cleans a banker’s villa, a florist with a club foot and a student with a fascination for cinema. Pushed to the margins by the extreme right, they defend themselves with irony, songs and quotes from the classics.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
