So good. Basic plot, a guy takes the rap for a crime he wasn't really involved with, and is promised that when he gets out of jail, his boss will give him a good chunk of money. Three years have passed, he's getting out of prison, and he calls his boss. Who says, 'sure, no problem, meet me here, alone, after dark." We're also getting a couple of other threads in the story--a guy running the show "I catch you (nacapam te)"which is like an evil candid camera, a therapist brother and his sister who is clearly going crazy, and her two children who are also not quite right. Stan, the main character hooks up with someone even stupider than himself, Andre, who gets him into whatever trouble he avoided on his own. It was hysterically funny, and had everything I love about good european movies in it (such as symbolism! even though it was a comedy.), so i think everyone should watch it.
Oh, and plus it's possible that we saw Princess Victoria of Sweden buying tickets for the saturday show, so I'm now required to stay for that (double feature--the swedish movie and a polish movie.) and maybe one more movie on friday, I don't know yet.
