Fall Out (2010)

FALLOUT glimpses at the decimated existences of men and women in the aftermath of a nuclear bombing. The largely nameless characters inhabit a wasteland of junk-strewn garages, abandoned factories and drab apartment blocks - locked in a listless waiting game. Only the ghosts of human dynamics survive, fraught with undercurrents of sexual suspicion and bodily decay. FALLOUT is social fable in the mold of Orwell. It's a nightmarish world - where memories, whether individual or collective, are suspended, and words themselves have disappeared. An allegory for the Polish Communist regime's assaults on individual freedom as well as the identity crisis, personal and national, of the post-Communist era, FALLOUT demonstrates an engagement with Polish cinema from the forties to the punk music videos of the 1970s.
