Summary/Abstract: Michał Piepiórka’s book "Rockefellerowie i Marks nad Warszawa. Polskie filmy fabularne wobec transformacji gospodarczej" ["The Rockefellers and Marx over Warsaw: Polish Feature Films Vis-a-vis the Economic Transformation"] (2019) is reviewed as an inspiring and competent attempt to investigate how domestic feature movies (from the period of 1989 to 2013) reflected Polish reality after 1989 (i.e. the time of political transformation). The reviewer presents Piepiórka’s methodological premises, specifies his adequately restricted thematic interests (which revolve around economic issues) and offers some bibliographic suggestions. Piepiórka’s decision to abandon the aesthetic evaluation of the movies (in favour of a rigorous interpretation of all works that seem relevant for his research task) is considered as one of the most important merits of his book.
