It Was a Plan

About This Movie

So 'It Was a Plan' is this documentary that really digs into the shifts in Poland's social and political landscape post-1989. It's not flashy or anything but there's a rawness to it that’s pretty compelling. The pacing sits somewhere between reflective and urgent, capturing the nuances of change without rushing through them. I found it interesting how the filmmakers, Andrzej Fidyk and Anna Więckowska, let the voices of the people carry the narrative, which adds an authenticity that feels genuine. The practical effects are minimal, as you’d expect for a doc, but the real impact comes from the interviews and archival footage. It’s distinct in how it presents history, not just as facts but as lived experiences.

Focuses on personal narratives and real experiences.Pacing reflects the gradual nature of societal change.Interesting balance between history and emotional resonance.
