VOD: 365 Days - This Day (dirs: Barbara Bialowas and Tomasz Mandes, 2022)

REVIEW No. 1,300!

"Sometimes I act irrational."

This inevitable sequel to the surprise lockdown hit Netflix Polish erotic potboiler is impossible to take seriously, delivered with peculiar performances and a barely-existent script.  It is shot and presented in a glossily dream-like haze of a succession of laid-back music videos to sub Ed Sheeran-style songs, punctuated by murkily-shot and dull sex scenes.  The film is quite remarkable in its wilful absence of a plot that leaves the characters - and the viewer - adrift for most of the film.  The final act is so random and preposterous that is veers from silly to eye-rollingly daft, and the film as a whole is little more than a passing glance at the sex lives of a bunch of rich, unlikeable and pointless characters.
