the cruise (film)

The Cruise is the English title for Rejs, a film released in 1970, directed by Marek Piwowski. The Cruise is the mother of all cult films in Polish cinematography. Shot in a quasi-documentary style, with a cast featuring two or three professional actors at the most, this masterpiece perfectly sends up the People's Republic of Poland, reducing a weekend river cruise to a hilarious parody of the entire communist system. A stowaway (Stanisław Tym) sneaks aboard a ship departing on a cruise down the Vistula River. The captain takes him for a Communist Party cultural coordinator and the intruder gladly adapts to his new role, immediately setting to work at manipulating the passengers and crew into silly and vaugely humiliating games. Before long, Tym has got everyone under his thumb and created his own comedic dictatorship. A memorable performance was given by Jan Himilsbach, also an amature actor who formerly carved tombstones.
