You have no idea how much i love you

out 16 february / CERT Tbc / 80 MINS director Pawel Lozinski CAST Ewa Szymczyk, Hanna Maciag, Bogdan de Barbaro

‘Documentary’ is Becoming an increasingly flexible term and Pawel Lozinski blurs the lines in this study of a mother and daughter’s sessions with an eminent psychiatrist. Polish law forbids the filming of medical consultations and, thus, this composite case always feels calculatedly staged, with Ewa Szymczyk (mother) and Hanna Maciag (daughter) filmed in unflinching close-up as they discuss their feud. it’s fascinating to contrast the doctor’s measured methodology with the raw Method acting of his patients. But too much key information about the source of Szymczyk’s emotional fragility is withheld until a lastact outburst for this to convince. dp
