The premiere of “Sparrow” took place in Warsaw with the filmmakers and invited guests in attendance. The comedy directed by Tomasz Gąssowski, a multi-award-winning film music composer, is a film told with wry distance and intelligent humour, which touches in an unconventional way on themes close to all of us. Here are the photos from the event. “Sparrow” hits cinemas across Poland this Friday.
The premiere was attended by, among others, Jacek Borusiński, Julia Chętnicka, Krzysztof Stroiński, Piotr Rogucki, Agnieszka Matysiak, Radosław Majewski and Wojciech Fiedorczuk, who could be seen on the big screen that evening. Guests included Arkadiusz Jakubik, Wojciech Smarzowski, Wojciech Marczewski, Grażyna Torbicka and Dariusz Dziekanowski.
Welcome to the world of Remek Wróbel
“Sparrow” is not only a comedy with elements of magical realism, but also a reflective story about life, which surprises us when we least expect it. Remek embodies the fears and hopes of every one of us – someone who is afraid of change, yet at the same time wants more from life. As Jacek Borusiński emphasises, “Sparrow” is a film about the small but meaningful things that make us laugh and move us.
ABOUT “SPARROW”
Remek Wróbel is a postman and a keen footballer in an amateur team. Pushing forty, he leads a bachelor’s life. He passionately studies the encyclopaedia, exercising his extraordinary memory. Apart from his resourceful friend Pedro, who runs shady businesses, he has no one close in the world. And he is fine with that. One day everything changes – his well-ordered life is turned upside down, and on top of that, a new quick-tongued neighbour, Marzenka, and a grandfather he never knew unexpectedly appear in it. Remek will have to learn how to make lemonade when life gives you lemons.
The film is written and directed by Tomasz Gąssowski, known for his collaborations with Andrzej Jakimowski as the composer of the music for films such as “Sztuczki” and “Imagine”. “Sparrow” is Gąssowski’s next project, in which he proves he can talk about important matters in a light and accessible way.
The cinematographer is Wojciech Staroń, whose credits include such acclaimed productions as “Papusza” and “Plac Zbawiciela”.
The producer is Robert Kijak, and distribution is handled by NEXT FILM.
