The Polish doco for the BFI’s Century of Cinema distinguishes itself from all the others in the series by being the only one not to have any film critics , academics , directors, etc providing a commentary. Instead it takes the refreshing route of having ordinary people of all ages talking about what’s special to them about movies – so we get some old folks describing their first trip to the cinema when a lot of people didn’t even know what a film was , memories of what it was like to go to the movies as children , teenagers , and adults before, during , and after WWII , and especially the key scenes from films that have made lasting impressions upon them (not unexpectedly , Wajda’s KANAL strikes a nerve) , which are shown in accompaniment , so that it becomes the interviewees who ultimately decide what’s shown in the doco . This kind of stuff is what the ‘100 Years of Cinema’ celebration is really about .
