- TriviaEllen Jones for the Guardian : " Set aside the Ennio Morricone-homaging soundtrack and Eastern isn't as much "western" as it is Greek. The detached wide shots framing bizarrely inexpressive characters call to mind the award-winning films of director Yorgos Lanthimos, while the story of doomed youth unable to escape their family's bloody fate is pure Sophocles."
Featured review
(2019) Eastern/ Ruthless
(In Polish with English subtitles)
THRILLER
This is another one of those movies where it made more sense to the makers who made it than the viewers who spent watching it. It is either that, or the English translators did not do a very good in translating it into English. Anyways, part of the synopsis above claims it is a "dystopian" movie, but yet there is zero indication of that at all. Co-written and directed by Piotr Adamski that has a woman hunter hunting another hunter and making it look like a suicide. We find out that it consists and is similar to the "Hatfields and the McCoys" scenario with two warring families who are at odds with one another between the "Nowak" family and the "Kowalska" family. And then later on in the movie, as soon as one Ewa Nowak (Maja Pankiewicz) drops her guard down she is then abducted at gun point, by Klara Kowalska (Paulina Krzyzanska) for the intention of using her as blackmail in exchange for money.
Besides not caring for the way the movie had ended, I was unable to find any plot either except to see many people babbling over nothing. Viewers neither understand nor are enlightened how this feud came about in the first place except that it is, and that the father (Marcin Czarnik) was paralyzed on one of their meetings.
