- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and people who'll be humming afterwards. Nobody is quite who they seem. A good follow-up to Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me or The Last Waltz. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 44 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Polish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Czeslaw Niemen, who died ten years ago, was an icon for several generations of Poles. In Poland under communism he managed to raise popular music to the rank of true art; he also won renown abroad. He was born in 1939 in Stare Wasiliszki (today's Belarus) and his biography was largely shaped by the tempestuous history of this part of Europe. The film is a portrayal of the charismatic musician, made up of unique archive materials and reminiscences of his family and friends.
