My Nikifor

About This Movie

So, 'My Nikifor' is really this understated gem that dives into the lives of two very different artists in the 1960s. You’ve got Włosiński, a guy who has his life pretty much together, and then there's Nikifor, who’s kind of an enigma – deaf and mute, yet he’s this passionate painter. Their interactions are just fascinating, often filled with this warm, quiet tension that really gets you thinking about creativity and connection. The pacing is gentle but deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of Krynica and appreciate the unique techniques and styles of Nikifor’s naive art. Performances here are subtle, yet they resonate, making their friendship feel authentic and transformative. It’s a film that lingers with you.
