Bryant Lake Bowl Sunday, September 22, 9:30pm Monday, September 23, 9:30pm Lech Kowalski, France, 2000, 88 mins 'Imagine if the Sex Pistols made boots instead of music' says director Lech Kowalski of a group of Cracow punks who make leather shoes for a living. They run their business as if they were a band of rock stars, living by their own rules, making the product by hand, their heads bobbing in unison to the sounds of their favorite bands. But when the business takes off, the decision whether to expand leads to inevitable conflicts. Kowalski's roots in American underground cinema - D.O.A., his film on the punk scene maintains a cult status in the States - make him the perfect interpreter of the punk-aesthetic. Snappy storytelling and a sharp style are the main features of the movie, dictated as much by the raw energy that flows from the characters, as from Kowalski himself.
