Best Homer adaptation available on film. Period. Profoundly Mediterranean. Bekim Fehmiu and all other cast members are spot on. Mandatory viewing for any man or woman of culture.
A gem for a perfect description of Brezhnevian Communism gone stale and about to take a jump in the dustbin of history.
Dialogue is just great and cult quotes abound (sadly lost for those without knowledge of French). Not to mention epiphany situations, e.g. various party members comparing their various party membership cards/levels to assert their respective authority until one settles it by saying "we're all party members in this room but are you KGB, comrade?".

A film with intelligence, remarkably devoid of simplification in its social and political portrayal of our cold, ruthless world of postmodern haves and have-nots. The distant but all the more biting satire (or is that the right word?) of Poland's new urban bourgeoisie is very effective. Also one of the few recent films able to capture young people's permanent online emotional handicap.
