Darren Aronofski is the creator of acclaimed cinematic works such as “Requiem for a Dream” or “Black Swan”.
His latest film “The Whale” delights both critics and the public. He was noticed at the Venice Film Festival and Brendan Fraser was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama for his role.
“Wieloryb” is the story of a man who has lived on the fringes of the world for years. Charlie is morbidly obese and cannot move from his apartment. Rejected even by his own family and loved ones, he is headed for the abyss. However, an impulse awakens in him a flame of hope. So Charlie tries to make contact with his long-lost daughter. Charlie is very afraid of this meeting, but he believes that all is not yet lost. He is aware that he risks losing his last illusion.
The Daily Telegraph wrote of the film: A penetrating and moving parable about trying to come to terms with your own life, told with biblical power.
The speaker at the meeting, which will take place on Friday (20.01) at 7 p.m. in the Cinema Forum, Iza Trybus will be there. Tickets are available at the Forum Cinema box office or via the Bialystok Cultural Center website.
The series of Psychoanalytic Film Encounters “In Depth” is the result of cooperation between DKF “GAG” operating at the Bialystok Cultural Center and Izabela Trybus and Sebastian Kiercel, psychotherapists working in the psychoanalytic trend.
