Szatan kazał tańczyć

Satan Said Dance

Kasia Rosłaniec
Poland, The Netherlands, 2016, 97 Min

Lust for life, wrapped in pop feminist attire. The question of how to live your life is but an irrelevance for Karolina, she just gets on with it, be that dressed super-stylishly or stark naked. An Instagram adventure that encompasses sex and drugs and celebrity rise and fall, with the latter’s emptiness of glamour, in post-Perestroika Poland.

Karolina is a star: skinny, sexy and unsurpassably cool, she changes her hair colour more often than others change their T-shirts. Aged twenty-seven and already a celebrated author, she came to fame with a book entitled "Doll", a world-wide success in places as far afield as Taiwan, where in a TV interview she is asked how her erotic fantasies were received back in devoutly Catholic Poland. "I love your ice cream" she responds, as she strikes a pose and pouts her lips like a web 2.0 version of Marilyn Monroe. Photo shoot. Club rave. Sex. Without a break.

This larger-than-life protagonist is played by Magdalena Berus, who also featured in Kasia Rosłaniec’s BABY BLUES (2012); then as a teenage mother with fashion issues, here she features in 54 short sequences, her life akin to a fragmented kaleidoscope image, the superficiality of which provides her with few opportunities for contemplation. There are moments however when Karolina appears to realise that her attempts at self-promotion are leading her to self-destruction. BW
