Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Poland's post-2008 economic anxiety, the film weaponizes class tension—old money Chairman vs. scrambling underclass feels specifically Warsaw.
Borowski shot many scenes in actual communist-era offices scheduled for demolition, giving the film its suffocating, dated-yet-timeless visual texture.
