Tomasz Wasilewski : 2012
In a Bedroom
Edyta is forty and in the midst of a crisis. She has left her family, her husband and son and their house on the Baltic Sea behind her. She spends her nights in a Warsaw hotel room and her days driving around the unfamiliar city. When she runs out of cash, she places an ad in the newspaper and arranges meetings online with strange men with implied sexual intentions. Edyta never lets things get that far though, as she drugs her clients and uses their apartments as a refuge for the night. Then she meets an artist, Patryk, and Edyta can no longer maintain her dismissive attitude. This enthralling character study, using filmic minimalism to ensure that glances and gestures say more than words, portrays a lonely woman in both fragility and strength. Tomasz Wasilewski's debut feature screened in competition at Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival 2012.
