Scarecrow-88 There are some short films(and feature length in the case of David Lynch, who will be obviously compared to with this particular film)which defy elaboration and are difficult to articulate in word. DYM is such an example. A melancholy young man, seemingly having a hard time dealing with, I think, the loss of his girlfriend, who drives a taxi and enters a mysterious night club, following his portly, strange customer who has poontang on his mind. What lies ahead is something right out of EYES WIDE SHUT or THE NINTH GATE, where an odd collection of club patrons participate in surreal, kinky, and decadent goings-on. A tape recorder, lesbian kissing, compelling characters who seem sexually liberated, among other things find their way into director Grzegorz Cisiecki's bizarre odyssey of a young cabbie possibly driven mad. Some films, like DYM, are not as easy to explain as they are to simply experience. Along with beautiful women, Dawid Rymar's cinematography is the major star here, it's a visual feast, pull up at the table and dine.

DKosty123 Stars:Katarzyna Dalek, Grzegorz Golaszewski and Hubert Jarczak Everything here indicates this film was shot in Poland. The camera work is stunning. The pacing is about right. While the film has no real dialog save a bit of lyrics on a car radio, it weaves together random sequences into something that makes sense in a visual way.Grzegorz Golaszewski stars, directs, & wrote the script for this short 7 plus minute film. The story centers around him, as it opens with him alone in a room looking out the window & then sitting in a chair that appears to be the only chair in the room. Then he seems to slip off into a dream.In that dream, Katar Dalek dominates the early images as she is his companion in a few sequences. She is shown briefly & the camera work makes her look like a surreal dream of a woman we'd all long for. Grzegorz then wakes up alone in a bed. Only he immediately drifts back off into another dream with Hubert Jarczak, a larger man wearing a bright stoneless ring. He appears with a blonde woman & then we cut to a sequence after he touches her where she has some sort of scratch that I have to assume was caused by Hubert Jarczak. After this sequence, Grzegorz then in a dreamlike sequence is reunited with first a vampires type of woman, & then with Katarzyna Dalek back in the room where the movie first started. That is symbolic as on both ends of that film, the camera makes the room look surreal. The difference between the beginning & end is Katarzyna fine appearance in the closing sequence as in the real world Grzegorz is back into a changed reality. Short films trying to tell a story without dialog are in short supply. When the smoke clears here, there is progress as Grzegorz has gone from being alone in this smoke & bright light to be able to express himself & sort out the real from the imagined.

Amy Adler A young man sits in an apartment, listening to a cassette and, it appears, remembering recent events. This includes a beautiful young woman who arrived at his apartment in a puff of smoke. As depicted, she was driven there in a car by a plump, sinister looking gentleman. In order to find his lady again, the young man travels to a smoky nightclub, where there are other lovely ladies on display. Some are crying jewels, others are taking photographs, with a camera dipped in blood. The couple meets again, and spends a brief time in the grass, with arms linked. But, at the end, the young man sits alone once more. What has occurred? Was it a dream or was it real? Are our lives as fleeting as wisps of smoke? I can't pretend that I understand this visually stunning short in its entirety but it was quite an interesting watch. Although it is a mere eight minutes long, its understated quality makes it a prime candidate for discussion. Just what has one viewed and what is its meaning? Most likely everyone will have a different answer! The cast is most handsome and the direction is well conceived and edited. Want to have a different kind of friendly get-together? Show this film on You Tube to your guests and then wait for the words to flow!

namashi_1 'Dym' is a Haunting tale, superbly directed and executed in 7-minutes by filmmaker Grzegorz Cisiecki. It's a tricky short film, that explodes loads of characters, some nudity and brief violence. 'Dym' is one of the finest/haunting short films I've seen recently. 'Dym' tells The story of a person who became the captive of surrealistic madness. The idea, is first of all, exemplary, considering that it's a short film. Cisiecki posted this effort on YouTube and I couldn't help but check it out.What works truly for this short, is it's David Lynch kinda storytelling. 'Dym' is not spoon-feed Cinema at all, you need to watch and understand. I saw it twice to understand what was this 7-minute effort trying to say. It deals surrealistic madness, and Cisiecki seems to have truly inhaled his imagination.'Dym' not only offers off-beat and challenging Screenplay and Direction, but also packs some Superb Cinematography, Crisp Editing and Excellent Performances by it's cast. The lead actor, especially, is remarkable and gets into the skin of the character. Final Word - Rushing to a Cineplex to catch 3 hours of Entertainment? Guess what, 'Dym' can be viewed at your home, Go to YouTube and watch it. It takes 7-minutes of your time and is worth it. And... if you didn't get what it wanted to say in the first viewing... I say.... Action Replayy!
