Smoczy\u0144ska is one of the most original Polish directors, who tells us with the lightness of dance moves about what`s wild and uncontrollable in us, and also in her English-language debut she shows her uninhibited imagination. \u00a0The visionary \u201cSilent Twins\u201d, filled with music, even though inspired by a Marjorie Wallace`s reportage, has a clear mark of her individual style. And \u2013 like other Smoczy\u0144ska`s films \u2013 it shows a women`s perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_01-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_01-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_01-256x144.jpg 256w, https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_01-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_01-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_01.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This time it is the twins from Wales: June and Jennifer Gibbons who stop communicating with the world. From the grim countryside which has nothing much to offer to two black girls than humiliation, the \u201csilent twins\u201d flee into bright-coloured and sun-lit fantasies about writing fame, romantic love, and swimming pools full of Pepsi-Cola. However, June and Jennifer`s teen imagination, boosted by hormones, also has its dark side, just like their bond with underlying rivalry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_08-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_08-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_08-256x144.jpg 256w, https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_08-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_08-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SILENT-TWINS_08.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br> By creating the internal world of the twins on the screen, Agnieszka Smoczy\u0144ska draws handfuls of ideas from old commercials, colourful magazines or soap operas. She reaches out for thrillers and sensual musical, drama and stop-motion animation. But the emotional bomb of \u201cSilent Twins\u201d owes its energy also to Letitia Wright (\u201cBlack Panther\u201d, \u201cBlack Mirror\u201d series) and Tamara Lawrance (\u201cSmall Axe\u201d series). The actresses create poignant roles of girls who can live neither separately, nor together, and whose teenage rebellion got out of control. Smoczy\u0144ska`s film cannot be interpreted as a study of a toxic bond, artistic genius, or female rebellion. Maybe it is a story about escape from a racist society, or maybe a ballad about impossible love? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Golden Lions for the Best Film at the Polish Film Festival in Gdynia 2022<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>Silent Twins \/ The Silent Twins<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Re\u017cyseria:&nbsp;<strong>Agnieszka Smoczy\u0144ska<\/strong><br>Obsada:&nbsp;<strong>Letitia Wright, Tamara Lawrance, Jodhi May, Jack Bandeira<\/strong><br>Muzyka: <strong>Marcin Macuk, Zuzanna Wro\u0144ska<\/strong><br>Produkcja:<strong>&nbsp;42 Kindred Spirit, Madants<\/strong><br>Kraj produkcji:&nbsp;<strong>Polska, Wielka Brytania<\/strong><br>Rok produkcji:&nbsp;<strong>2022<\/strong><br>Czas emisji:&nbsp;<strong>109 min.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">WHERE \/ WHEN<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>25th November (Saturday) - 2 PM<\/strong><br><strong>Ma\u0142opolska Garden of Arts - Small Screening Room<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>Agnieszka Smoczy\u0144ska<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SMOCZY\u0143SKA_AGNIESZKA-833x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21242\" width=\"233\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SMOCZY\u0143SKA_AGNIESZKA-833x1024.jpeg 833w, https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SMOCZY\u0143SKA_AGNIESZKA-117x144.jpeg 117w, https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SMOCZY\u0143SKA_AGNIESZKA-768x944.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/etiudaandanima.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SMOCZY\u0143SKA_AGNIESZKA.jpeg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Born in 1978, a Polish director and film and theatre writer.
