The Dark House has been called a "Polskie Fargo" but this film is darker and more twisted than anything the Coen Brothers have dreamed up. Set in Communist Poland during the Fall of 1978, this is a drama with pitch black humor. An accidental traveler stops and stays overnight at a farm house in a remote rural area. Soon he and his hosts, a farmer and his wife, become good friends. The evening ends in tragedy. Simultaneously, the story of a police investigation into these tragic events is unfolding, as officers attempt to solve the mystery of what happened on that night. For some of the investigators, uncovering the truth is not as important as hiding their own secrets. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

Esto no llegará a Hollywood… :) y probablemente tampoco lo entenderían en Cannes. Una imagen magistralmente escrita y rodada, extremadamente crítica del fango de la moral social durante el régimen comunista. Desde el humor absurdo que deja a uno boquiabierto, hasta el asco absoluto - al menos para el espectador, que es del antiguo bloque del Este y sabe que todo fue una realidad. El austero aspecto visual televisivo y la intimidad psicológica del tópico evocan rasgos teatrales, que el director transforma brillantemente en un sofisticado rompecabezas fílmico con dos niveles de narración, que en la conclusión lleva a un resumen caricaturescamente alarmante. Sí, realmente califico con cinco estrellas una película polaca que parece televisiva, llena de personajes sin carácter que están borrachos desde el inicio hasta el final. El director ni siquiera quiere compasión por el personaje principal de parte de nosotros. En lugar de eso, aplasta todo con una nube negra de disgusto social y le permite engendrar una nueva vida. ¡Es una masacre!

A strange piece of existentialism, where for the better part of the film nothing happens. You observe various characters who are supposed to make you feel that they are the genuine selection of the Polish characteristics of human thinking plus it is set in the typical Eastern setting, where there is a shortage of everything except vodka. It certainly is interesting when it comes to discovering the Polish socialist soul, however, from the filmmaking point of view, it is hard to finish the film without getting drunk just from the amount of vodka that is being consumed in it.
