Plus Minus or Fly Trips to the East

About This Movie

Plus Minus or Fly Trips to the East is this fascinating documentary from Bogdan Dziworski, who re-emerges after a long hiatus. It’s more than a travelogue; it’s a deeply personal reflection on his past, reconnecting with the haunting legacy of Stalin, a shadowy figure from his youth in Poland. The film mixes haunting imagery with a reflective, almost dreamlike pacing that draws you into Dziworski's psyche. It’s raw, it’s intimate, and you can feel the weight of nostalgia in every frame. The atmospheric sound design and layered visuals really hit home the complexities of memory and history. It stands apart for its exploration of a controversial subject, making you think about the intersection of personal and political.
