Shameless, 2012 - ★★½
REVIEWED
Morally dubious and downright gloomy incestuous relationship slash social drama from Poland. Tadek moves back in with his sister Anka, whose now become a trophy date to her rising in politics boyfriend. Its clear both Tadek and Anka have been very close earlier in their lives, only the brother wants to take it further.
Shameless is not an easy film to judge, on one hand its got interesting statements to make on modern Polish life, especially with the gypsy character of Irmina whose built up an infatuation with Tadek. But on the other hand it suspiciously plays out like a slice of Eurosleaze, especially in the way Anka seemingly prances around most the film, subtly teasing her poor brother. I just wish the film would have made up its mind and been one or the other, instead of falling someplace between.
