We're Here Together. On Wojciech Staroń's Documentary “Bracia”

Summary/Abstract: The article presents, as its centre-point, Wojciech Staroń’s documentary film "Bracia" ("Brothers", 2015). The author’s research aim is to demonstrate that this piece stands among the most significant achievements in contemporary Polish cinema. This position – to be confirmed by a precisely conducted analysis and interpretation (particularly with regard to cinematography and editing) – has been achieved by an original coverage of the history of two brothers, Mieczysław and Alfons Kułakowski, who in their old age, as returnees, travel back to Poland after several decades in Soviet exile. One of Staroń’s essential accomplishments is the visual concept of "Brothers"; its basic two assumptions (i.e. ascetic camera movements and inspiration by landscape painting) result directly from the observation of the protagonists’ lives and the artistic passion of Alfons Kułakowski, a painter.
