'Papusza', directed by Joanna Kos and Krzysztof Krauze, is the true story of the 20th-century Polish-Roma poet Bronislawa Wajs - from her first transgression as a young girl when she teaches herself to read, to her ultimate outcast from the gypsy community who viewed her work as a betrayal.
A compelling story of a formidable talent and a rebellious spirit, exquisitely photographed in black and white.
★★★★ "In its attention to landscape, its extraordinarily detailed mise en scéne and its surrealist flights, the feel has the feel of an old Tarkovsky movie" - Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent
