In a Bedroom

Forty-year-old Edyta is in crisis. She sleeps at hotels, and when her money runs out she uses the internet to find men who are looking for sex. Edyta spends nights in the homes of the nameless men but, instead of the promised sex, she takes advantage of their involuntary hospitality. She reaches a turning point, when she meets a young artist named Patryk. In his minimalist movie, director Tomasz Wasilewski makes smart use of the tension that builds from the lack of information his story provides viewers about the protagonists. Faces and gestures reveal more about the characters than words alone. With the brittle, unnameable atmosphere that pervades the entire film playing a fundamental role.
