Krzysztof Warlikowski's downbeat and understated slice-of-life drama Krum concerns a Polish young man named Krum (Jacek Poniedzialak), adrift and directionless, who hearkens back to his parents' home after years abroad and confesses to his mother that he failed to accomplish anything of merit in his journeys throughout the world - neither moneymaking, nor romance, nor self-discovery. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

A film that inevitably recalls Roman Polanski's 1962 Noz w Wodzie, Polish director Jan Hryniak's tense psychodrama The Third (Trzeci) enters the dark and claustrophobic territory of a marriage fractured and falling slowly to pieces. Jaciek Poniedzialek stars as Pawel, a Polish husband so obsessed with work-related commitments that he lets those obligations all but destroy his nuptials with wife Ewa (Magdalena Cielecka). The couple plans a romantic getaway together on a yacht, intended to bring new life and vitality to their marriage, but at the last minute, Pawel is called away from the boat on yet another work assignment, to finalize a multi-million dollar contract. Discouraged and downtrodden, the couple makes their way home, but runs into the so-called "third" of the title - an enigmatic older gentleman who vehemently insists that he has unusual "methods" for healing their relationship. Little do Ewa and Pawel realize what lies in store for them. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
