    70/80's polish film

    Was my favourite. Two men suddenly arrived in a world where women only existed. babies were born by artificial methods and these two blokes took great delight in showing the ladies the natural method of conception. the twist in the tale was the female world was run by a bloke pretending to be a woman.

    I thought it was great. All the weirdness, characters and goings on like the bald guy, the messages on the fridge etc. were made to make you think there was something weird going on, someone after him but it was all in his mind. All those things were linked to the fact he was wracked with guilt after killing a girl in a hit and run. His mind played out visual images of his guilt like the car the bald guy drove was the one Bale was actually in when ran over the girl etc etc.

    I enjoyed it.

    Hard to believe the Christian Bale we see there and the Batman physique are only about 18 months apart.

    Aparently while he was losing weight he went against all the advice of his nutritionist and went way too far. He ended up in a pretty bad way.

    I'd be interested to know if the footage of the flashback to the accident was shot before or after the weight loss. I guess it's quicker to put weight on so maybe after.

    Top acting as well.
