There Is

About This Movie

So, 'There Is' from 1984 is this documentary that dives deep into the everyday lives of the folks in Zbrosza Duża. It's got this raw, unfiltered vibe, really captures the essence of small-town Poland. The way it builds up to the meeting with John Paul II is interesting; you feel the anticipation and hope in the air. The pacing is a bit meandering, but it adds to the authenticity of the experience. The performances, especially from the parish priest, are quite genuine—there’s a palpable sense of community and faith. It’s not flashy, but there's something striking about how it portrays both the mundane and the profound in their lives. It’s a slice of history that feels personal rather than grandiose.
