“33 Sceny Z Zycia” (“33 Scenes from Life”)

A Polish film centered around a female photographer artist as she loses both of her parents in a short period to death.

This is a film about a spoiled young woman of privilege who remains spoiled and a girl even after the loss of her parents. With her mother dying, she submits the MRI scans of her mother's cancer for a festival art exhibition. She's more upset when her submission is rejected from the festival than she is by having to attend her mother's festival. The widower has difficulty handling life without his wife and succumbs to death soon thereafter.

This is an autobiographical tale from a director who lost both of her parents in a similar manner. As Aristotle teaches, a story, to be effective, must have a beginning, a middle, and an end. This story has only a middle, with no beginning, and certainly no end.
