Radykalizm powolności
Radicality of Slowness

Summary/Abstract: Book review of Rafał Syska’s „Filmowy neomodernizm” [„Neomodernism in Film”] (2014). The very concept of “neomodernism”, though closely associated with categories describing trends in contemporary cinema, such as slow-cinema or contemplative cinema, is entirely original in character. Syska, in describing a thoroughly modern phenomenon, sees it as a reincarnation of the spirit of film modernism of 1950s and 1960s. His book on the one hand shows the network of links between neomodernism and modernism, and on the other hand proposes determinants constitutive of the work of neomodernists. The more general parts of the book contains essays depicting profiles of individual artists.
