Kuba_D "Edi" has lost a lot thanks to the medial attention given to it. The viewers of the film that are watching it today expect no-one-knows-what while they are just going to get a film about the simplicity of life. That's it and that's a lot.A story about a homeless philosopher - that sound like an idea for a problematical story filled with a lot of cynical opinions about the feeling of guilt. And somehow Piotr Trzaskalski managed to make a film both simple and wise, without being to pretentious. It isn't important that Henryk Gołębiewski starring in the leading role is sometimes a bit overwhelmed by the outstanding supporting performance by Jacek Braciak. It isn't important that the main character's quotes sound a bit fake. "Edi" gives a feeling that the film is honest, sincere and quite unusual for the Polish cinema. It is "artistic" but not pretentious and absolutely understandable. It is situated in one of the saddest surroundings but is not filled with depression. Even the criminals aren't presented as tough gangsters, but as little wise guys which is more closer to the truth about Polish criminal world. And whatsmore the film is optimistic and without a fakely glued happy end.

eddy_piunow This movie is one of the best Polish movies and one of the best movies Í have ever seen. You see the Poland with eyes of a simple person. The person who doesn't even got a proper place to live. And then his day of life, like every day, trying to find something with his friend, something to sale, than sale it, buy some vodka, go to sleep, live on. I mean, the story is quite simple, but the way we see is completely different. There is some much magic,love, some much to think about, some many simple things that come deep in your heart - again and again. That's how the proper, great movie has to look like, this how the great movie must be.

lukasz012 I do not want to spoil the whole effect decribing it so you must go to cinema and watch it!!I promise-you won't regret it.You will even thank me for recommending it.It is nominated for an Oscar and I hope it will get it cause it is really special film about special men.There are such a people don't notice them.It s the high time we did!

ev_vy These are the most memorable words uttered by Edi, who subjected to all kinds of obstacles has the strength to live his life, the strength that puts many of us to shame."Edi" is one of the most sad and most cheerful, ugliest and most beautiful films I have ever seen. It is sad because it shows the life which all people would like to avoid and the life which is ignored, forgotten and yet it exists. It is cheerful, because Edi tries to live his life the best he can. It is ugly, because it shows this side of life we all wish to forget. It is beautiful, because it shows that even junk collectors be honest, valiant and unyielding.I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants to be reminded that there is goodness and beauty even in the ugliest, poorest, seemingly worthless people.
