it ' s almost surreal that sevyn streete r is finally releasing her debut studio album girl disrupted after two decades of songwriting and performing . and its release happened to coincide with her 31st birthday on friday ( july 7 ) .

new york mayor bill de blasio said the bronze , ponytailed girl " has fueled powerful conversations about women in leadership , " and the statue will remain on department of transportation property as a part of its art program through february 2018 .

as far as the tracks from girl disrupted best resembling this style : the singer believes “present situation” - - a banger produced by superduo the - dream and tricky stewart , featuring a “crazy electric guitar and aaliyah spewing drums” - - is that “perfect combination of sweet and street . ” “translation , ” the album highlight about miscommunication in relationships , also encompasses that sound , as well as the august alsina - harmonizing “been a minute . " after describing these songs , sevyn - - looking ahead to the future - - dreamed up a seven - track ep titled sweet and street . if this vision becomes a reality , she would feature various male artists who would “say the hardest shit” against her “female rebuttals and sweetest lines . "

duffy barely survived his last outing , in the morning i’ll be gone . suspended from cid , he was recruited by mi5 to take down a libyan - trained ira bombing cell on the mainland . that mission tied in to a locked - room mystery , and in gun street girl he’s got another peculiar case on his hands . it begins with a double murder . betting shop magnate ray kelly and his wife have been shot execution style in their home and their son michael is missing .

transient loon dan sandler , who also uses the name adam sandler , threatened to spread false rumors that the girl scouts of america arranged sexual encounters between underage girls and adult men , prosecutors allege in a bizarre new extortion and harassment case .

according to sevyn - - who has found previous billboard hot 100 success with 2013 ' s " it won ' t stop " - - girl disrupted is a “perfect marriage” that celebrates life and music . the singer opens up the lp with a monologue at the beginning of “livin , ” bringing up a previous battle with depression and how her recording journey was disrupted by “probably the most craziest shit i ever went through . ” simply put , girl disrupted is a triumphant rebirth .

interestingly enough , the next english - language dragon tattoo film seems like it won ' t star rooney mara or daniel craig . nor will it be an adaptation of the second book in the series , the girl who played with fire .

o’hanley : if you had asked me a week ago i would have had a different answer . there would have been a lower bar . but clearly , fearless girl has gotten a lot of attention and so she has already been very constructive .

now sandler has apparently been threatening to use his “bad elmo” spotlight to destroy the reputation of the entire girl scouts organization , for which he had done computer - programming work as a temp at the organization’s fifth ave . headquarters five years ago .

" now , she’ll be asserting herself and affirming her strength even after her temporary permit expires — a fitting path for a girl who refuses to quit , " de blasio said sunday . the statue was originally permitted to stay until only april 2 .

initially installed on march 7 for one week , the “fearless girl” sculpture appeared in media around the world , seen by many as a defiant symbol of women’s rights under the new administration of president donald trump , who has bragged about sexually assaulting women .

robert gordon , the leader of herts county council , said : “hertfordshire county council and broxbourne borough council have been aware for a couple of days that family and friends of cheshunt gold medallist laura trott wanted to throw a street party in celebration of her splendid achievement .

many of the people who have reached out to visbal are wondering how to keep the statue in place permanently . some are asking if they can donate funds toward the cause , or sign a petition urging the city to let " fearless girl " stay .

it’s worth pointing out that the wall street bull was itself an unexpected edition to the city’s landscape . in december 1989 , artist arturo di modica and a small band of co - conspirators lowered the bronze beast to broad street in front of the stock exchange in the middle of the night in a guerilla stunt . the bull reportedly ticked off nyse chairman richard grasso , who had it hauled off to queens . but di modica convinced the city’s parks department to reinstate the statue , albeit a few blocks away in its current—now shared—spot on broadway .

gun street girl is the latest in the detective sean duffy series by adrian mckinty , which originally was due to be a trilogy , but due to its popularity seems to be going to run for a little while longer . i was originally drawn to the series due to the fact that it is set in my childhood hometown of carrickfergus , in my childhood estate of victoria , and indeed in the location of duffy ' s frequently referred to house , 113 coronation road , on the road that i caught my bus to school every morning . no

rko in business ! and being a radio company , they were much more prepared for sound recording then the other studios . the visual aspect is something they picked up very quickly making them one of the top studios in no time . street girl is among their first films . filled with sweet jazz music ! and the music felt a lot more at home in a rko picture consider how awkward the music was in majority of the other films made at this time . the story is a simple one . a band helps a girl off the streets and in return she helps them . a gentle - hearted story with plenty of snarly remarks . that ' s what you get when you have ned sparks & jack oakie in there as the love sick john harron falls for the questionable betty compson . good fun overall .

artist kristen visbal ' s figure was first placed on a traffic island near wall street on march 7 , on the eve of international women ' s day , to make a point : there ' s a dearth of women on the boards of the largest u . s . corporations .

i ' ve been curious about adrian mckinty ' s work for a while . though born and raised in ireland , mckinty now lives in australia , allowing us to claim him as one of our own . despite my dislike of starting a series in the middle , so to speak , i couldn ' t resist the lure of gun street girl , the fourth book in his gritty police procedural series featuring sean duffy , an irish catholic detective inspector in northern ireland during the mid 1980 ' s . it ' s a busy night for detective inspector duffy who , after

reading adrian mckinty ' s sean duffy series reminds me of that old lay ' s potato chip ( or should i say , potato crisps ? ) commercial tag line : " betcha can ' t eat just one . " well , just try reading only one of these crackling northern ireland crime novels - - betcha can ' t read just one ! gun street girl is particularly compelling since it was loosely based on a mix of real life events that occurred in the mid 1980s involving secret operations between the governments of the uk , usa , and some factions in ire

a second attempt to reboot the a nightmare on elm street film series has been put into development by new line . following the underwhelming 2010 version , which saw jackie earle haley take over the role of freddy krueger from robert englund , new line opted not to press ahead with a sequel .

on twitter , people using the hashtag # fearlessgirl are calling for the statue to remain on wall street . mary emily o ' hara asked her followers to retweet " if you think the temporary # fearlessgirl statue should stay forever . " so far , more than 100 users have heeded her call .

anne mcnally , ssga ' s head of public relations for north america , told cnnmoney that the group has a permit that allows the statue to remain in place for one week , but that they are seeking an extension that would keep " fearless girl " in place for a month .

attorney norman siegel told the associated press that arturo di modica will explain at a news conference wednesday exactly how he ' s challenging city officials who issued a permit for the bronze girl to stay until february . siegel said he ' s demanding that the city release documents showing what procedures were followed .

arturo di modica , the sculptor behind the " charging bull , " snuck it onto wall street one night in 1989 . unlike ssga , he did not have a permit for the statue , and it was removed by police . new yorkers were upset , and eventually the city returned it to to the public .

i spent one weekend at hotel beausejour . the standard room for one person was spacious : double bed and private bathroom , eventhough a furniture and bath equipment were a bit old . the room was located on the 2nd floor with street view , and it was quite noisy . i was there in the summer , and the room was not equiped with air conditioning . reception and breakfast personel was nice and helpful . the location was also good : safe and resildential area , 1 minute walk from metro station parmentier , and 15 minutes walk down oberkampf street to reach marais district / republique square . good quality / price ratio for short stays and good location .

instead , we ' re told that the fourth book in the series - the girl in the spider ' s web - will be adapted for a new cast . we wouldn ' t expect david fincher to be back , either . steven knight , of locke , hummingbird and burnt , is working on the script .

fearless girl doesn’t have to worry about affording college – she’s owned by an investment firm ! no one can shut her out of the economy , as so many of her flesh - and - blood sisters have been : she owns manhattan real estate . in the financial district , no less ! no wonder she’s so fearless .

gun street girl seems snappier and pulpier than the first three novels in the series . it’s easier than ever to picture sean duffy adapted for the small screen – a bit like life on mars , but distilled in ulster . the book is a wonderful page turner , made all the more readable for its tempo , though the solving of the mystery does flatten out a bit in the third quarter . duffy is certainly maturing as a character – a touch less morose and a little more self - critical than in previous books – and that’s nice to see . the ending is open enough for this to become a trilogy of five , and let’s hope that happens .

“what this girl represents is the present , but also the future , ” mr . tisdalle said in an interview , adding that the firm was open to making the statue a permanent fixture . “she’s not angry at the bull — she’s confident , she knows what she’s capable of , and she’s wanting the bull to take note . ”

for the price we have paid , in madrid we would have stayed in a golden castle . . . . too much for a 2 stars hotel . . . . noisy room ( on the street ) , french bed ( it must have been 1 . 50 x 1 . 70 ) . . . . not a nice stay . . . .

“having it all” for most women won’t mean being marissa mayer or sheryl sandberg . the women’s movement , the marches for equality , are not about making every little girl a ceo , but rather about rendering the national dialogue more inclusive . ironically , urltoken has launched a campaign to convince americans to divest from banks that support the dakota pipeline .

sandler is being held on $ 200 , 000 bail despite his lawyer’s claim that his client is so mentally ill , no one could ever have taken his alleged threats seriously . girl scout officials and prosecutors stressed that sandler was never a direct employee and that he did not interact with children . sandler is due back in court june 13 .

…we are taking our commitment to gender - diverse leadership one bold step further . our statue has taken her place for all of wall street to see—a place where corporate america cannot help but notice her . in addition , and perhaps most importantly , we’re committed to helping boards achieve greater gender diversity through active dialogue and engagement with these companies and their board leadership .


floating skyscrapers ( polish : płynące wieżowce ) is a 2013 polish drama film written and directed by tomasz wasilewski , and starring mateusz banasiuk , marta nieradkiewicz , bartosz gelner and katarzyna herman .

it follows the story of kuba , an aspiring professional swimmer who falls in love with another man to the disapproval of his mother and to the surprise of his girlfriend , who tries to hold on to him and their relationship .

premiering at the 2013 tribeca film festival in new york city , the film is the first polish production that primarily deals with the topic of same-sex relationships , and is often paired together with in the name of by małgorzata szumowska — which covers the same themes in a different manner — as films that attempt to challenge existing local social and cultural norms on homosexuality .

set in warsaw , the film is noted for using the urban landscape and its largerly clean , straight aesthetic as a means of conveying the existence of these strict pre-existing social conventions , which the film 's storyline attempts to deviate from .

reactions to the film by both critics and the general public were mixed .

while some have praised the bravery of the film for covering a topic generally considered by polish society to be taboo , as well as for its cinematography and soundtrack , others have criticized the film 's flat storyline and character development as its predictable conventional tragic end .

floating skyscrapers taps into the culture of homophobia , which demands many to suppress , numb , or even kill their own desires , in order to bend to societal convention . it expresses that , although terrifying , when we follow our own desires we permit ourselves the space and potential to be happy . it’s only when we reject or ignore them that they start to become destructive .

in today’s conservative , predominantly catholic poland , an open homosexual relationship is more likely to trigger gay bashing than gay pride ; so it is in tomasz wasilewski ’s sophomore feature , the feel - bad coming - out drama “ floating skyscrapers . ” although the lead character is something of a lout as well as an emotional and intellectual cipher , this artfully shot , sexually provocative feature nabbed the karlovy vary fest’s east of the west competish kudo and is making the festival rounds .

ideally there’d be a way around this , but it appears there is not : if you’re a gay couple in an independent film , things aren’t going to end well for you . the cloud of disaster hangs low over “ floating skyscrapers , ” a polish drama about two male lovers that begins with the conspicuous , unseen activity of consensual male sexual activity behind bathroom doors as if it was a big , honking warning : walk into this film , and you’re going to see and feel it all ; if it wasn’t so upsetting , we wouldn’t be hiding it right now .

the anniversary edition of september 2015 , on the occasion of the completion of 20 years of architecture through ek magazine , includes the utopian project “floating skyscrapers” of our firm . the proposal comprises three buildings of equal height , composed of individual modules that are arranged in order to slide one on the top of another . a glass surface / base connects the three volumes which give the impression that are floating in the water . a motive for this design conception was the notion of “solitary waves” , which are transformed constantly due to sudden changes in the bottom of the sea . these water forms come together and move as a ripple in order to divide again and return to their previous state . this process indicates the presence of a type of organic “memory” . this particular approach provided the opportunity to explore new potential relationships and ratios , which can be imported in architectural design through other , more dynamic organization systems .

it can much more than just a remote outpost : “ through its desalinization and power facilities , this arctic skyscraper becomes a floating metropolis equipped with noaa ( national oceanic and atmospheric administration ) research laboratories , renewable power stations , dormitory - style housing units , eco - tourist attractions , and ecological habitats for wildlife . ”

wasilewski’s intimate direction and interest in artifice manages to eclipse the fact that our leads seem unknowable , unreachable even . kuba and mikal grow closer and closer , but what appears to be love is only captured through lust , the duo rarely exchanging any meaningful words . it’s one of those films where you’re kept outside of the relationship to the point where a late scene showing them laughing at each other makes you wonder exactly what it is that these two discuss . tragedy is unavoidable in “floating skyscrapers” but wasilewski at least manages to make it immensely appealing from a visual standpoint , suggesting he’s only the right story away from making a truly transcendent piece of art . [ b ]

from the sea we shift our sights to the sky , where a high - flying design ( third - place winner ) aims to supplement dense cities with much - needed recreational and green space . capped with a helium balloon and supported by solar - powered propellers , light park ( by ting xu and yiming chen ) is a floating skyscraper .

the first skyscrapers were impossible drawings at the times they were imagined , yet today glass towers that scale to the skies are everyday structures . on land , by sea , in the air ( or in one case : outer space ) , these entries are daring and visionary , defying convention , technology and at times even gravity .

tomasz wasilewski ( b . 1980 ) initially took a course in film direction at the film and television academy in warsaw ( 2001 ) and later studied film and television production at the national film school in łódź ( pwsftvit , 2006 ) . he shot the short feature nawiść ( 2001 ) and the short documentary one - man show ( show jednego człowieka , 2008 ) and worked as an assistant director on małgorzata szumowska’s 33 scenes from life ( 33 sceny z życia , 2008 ) . his feature debut in a bedroom ( w sypialni ) was screened in its international premiere in the forum of independents at the karlovy vary iff in 2012 and subsequently enjoyed success at a number of other international festivals . floating skyscrapers is his second feature .

the title of “floating skyscrapers” refers to a third - act anecdote , but tomasz wasilewski ’s second film is deeply intrigued by the cold architecture of building exteriors and the claustrophobia of the indoors . while kuba and sylwie claim to be comfortable sharing space with another , the camera never fails to capture them cramped within the frame , inconveniencing each other . and when characters collide outside in scenes of lust or violence , one can’t ignore how they are framed against oppressive outdoor objects . with a fairly short runtime , it’s also worth noting how wasilewski manages to capture the nude body , both male and female : a mid - film intimacy session between kuba and sylwie lingers on what appears to be an unsimulated act of cunnilingus between the actors , their hips eventually uniting like two pieces meant to be together .

as evidenced by his debut feature , wasilewski is interested in provocative sexual behavior and has no problem getting his thesps to play intimate , graphic scenes . however , he’s less successful when it comes to creating appealing characters in which the audience can take a rooting interest . nevertheless , “skyscrapers” marks a big step up from the low - budget “bedroom” and showcases the helmer’s flair for composition and intelligent use of sound .

dubbed the “ first lgbt polish film ” , the subject of tomasz wasilewski’s floating skyscrapers is sexual identity in a predominately conservative central europe . the film focuses on kuba , a determined athlete who is forced to confront the feelings he has been , literally , running away from . we are introduced to kuba and the domesticity of his relationship with long - term girlfriend , sylwie , and his highly disciplined , training regime . however , something does not feel right . he is hostile and unengaged by life and the others around him . it’s not until we witness him attend a party that we see a pulse . when he meets mikal , an instant bond is made between the two men , as sylwie looks on . from this moment , the two start meeting regularly defying both the practical and their own personal boundaries of falling in love with each other . there’s something magnetic between them that negates everything else around .

young athlete kuba lives with his mother and girlfriend sylwia ; he spends a lot of time training and preparing for his swimming competitions . at a gallery opening , which he reluctantly attends with sylwia one evening , he meets michał , a guy of similar age . while michał is aware of his homosexual orientation , kuba , until now experiencing a relatively satisfactory heterosexual relationship , is still finding out who he is . a fragile bond gradually forms between them , yet unfavourable circumstances begin to complicate matters . . . . in his visually compelling romance , talented young polish director tomasz wasilewski offers a sensitive take on issues concerning the unmasking of human sexuality , the quest for identity , and the desire for social acceptance . the film also delivers a superb portrayal of the way in which we muddle through relationships . floating skyscrapers , which director wasilewski describes as " the first polish lgbt film , ” boldly raises the theme of homosexuality , until now a considerably taboo subject in the film’s country of origin .

before we get to a few back on the ground , we have covered sea , sky and the next step ? space . that’s where the stratosphere network of skyscrapers comes in – a bold idea by a chinese team to create a skyscraper grid in space . the buckminster - fuller - worthy hex network of globe - spanning architectural infrastructure is mind - boggling in its implications . independently , these incredible towers are impossible to support , but as a network , they reinforce one another , and are mutually suspended above the earth .

the boys have an instant connection that immediately raises a red flag with ewa , in the same way ewa ' s presence in kuba ' s life raised a red flag with sylwia . it ' s narrative symmetries such as these that not only help make skyscrapers a compact and structurally reinforced item but also suggest that wasilewski ' s a gifted , detail - oriented writer . a scene in which kuba ' s cooked dinner for the two most important ( but unfortunately incompatible ) people in his young life , ewa and michal , not only beautifully plays up the desires , awkwardness , suspicions and embarrassment of each but also does so without barely any dialogue , relying on looks and mise - en - scene .

the events that unfold feature the secretive life they must maintain to see each other . kuba allows the resistance he holds against his sexuality to give way to his initial hedonistic pleasure in the illicit relationship . his underlying self - loathing must play out before he can eventually hold up his hands and allow himself to love mikal despite the odds . it’s very much a film about the unspoken . the script is suggestive and prefers to leave the emotional worlds of the characters to the audiences’ interpretation . the sparse dialogue and tense scenes reveal the unacceptability of his sexuality and the disorder it has made of his world .

tomasz wasilewski understands that film can be an experience that engages all the senses . his cinematographic aesthetic of clean lines and sobering , often desaturated , grading presents the atmosphere of the characters’ rigid and orderly environment . one scene in particular hits home where the camera is inside the car in which kuba and mikal drive to the top of a multistorey carpark . the elongated scene is repetitive and measured , yet , as they climb from one floor to the next there is a sense of freedom as they find a place to enjoy each other’s company alone .

the director also utilizes sound in a way that brings to life poland’s cultural atmosphere . the electronic music throughout reflects the austere and detached sentiment that pervades the film . the programmed beats and synthesizers are used in a way that soundtracks the inner lives of the characters . depeche mode’s ‘i feel you’ punctuates a heightened scene that marks a turning point in the film in which all involved can no longer continue to ignore the reality of the new relationship . still , it’s not only the music that stays with you . the sounds contained in the film are at once familiar and uneasy to listen to . in kuba’s home the clink of cutlery , the buzzing traffic outside and shouting from the streets are all noises which are routinely true to everyday life . the domestic commotions are pitched as loud as the dialogue , echoing the noise and buzzing thoughts going on in kuba’s mind . a signature of the film is the shots of kuba swimming underwater . the aquatic drones as we watch him swim are almost otherworldly demonstrating the level of escape he reaches through training and routine . the outside world is drowned out and wasilewski allows us to be there with him .

polari magazine is an lgbt arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it . it’s about the lives we lead , not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead .

its content is informed & insightful , and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community . its intent is to help lgbt readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past .

polari is designed to nurture the idea of community , whether that be social and political , or artistic and creative . it is your magazine , whether you want to read it , or whether you want to get involved in it , if you ' re gay , lesbian , bisexual , trans , or queer .

polari magazine is all these : it ' s a gay online magazine ; it ' s a gay and lesbian online magazine ; it ' s an lgbt arts and culture magazine . ultimately , it is a queer magazine .

there ' s a startlingly honest tone to this difficult polish drama , which confronts issues of sexuality and machismo in complex ways . and even though it ' s rather bleak , the story is involving and even compelling as the naturalistic acting and filmmaking hold our attention .

at the centre of the story , kuba ( banasiuk ) is an athletic and masculine swimmer in his mid - 20s whose sexy girlfriend sylwia ( nieradkiewicz ) is living with him and his mother ewa ( herman ) . but kuba is clearly struggling with his internal desires , which are further sparked when he meets michal ( gelner ) on a night out . as their friendship develops , there ' s definitely a spark of mutual attraction between them , but kuba can ' t even begin to admit that he might be feeling something . michal on the other hand is much more open about it , admitting his romantic feelings and turning to his mother ( kuna ) for help with coming out to his father ( zbrojewicz ) .

polish cinema has been reluctant to explore homosexuality on - screen , and this film is almost a companion piece to the berlin - winning in the name of , which tackled the same themes in a very different way . the title refers to the way the city looks through tear - filled eyes , and offers a rare touch of emotion for characters who are reluctant to admit their true personal longings . as kuba , banasiuk offers a striking portrayal of a young man who feels betrayed by his emotions . this is a prime specimen of masculinity , often naked on screen as he struts around the locker - room or lounges in bed with sylwia . and his internal yearning for the love of a man makes him doubt everything about himself .

this certainly isn ' t the kind of gay drama we ' re used to seeing in the west , where these issues are tackled head - on . this film is much more delicate about it , admitting that in some parts of the world there are deep - seated cultural issues and generational factors that make it very difficult for gay youth to be honest with themselves and others . thankfully , filmmaker wasilewski finds reasons to be hopeful in the repressed polish society . and his beautiful photographic style , particularly in the underwater scenes , gets deep beneath the skin .

a film by tomasz wasilewski , 2013 , poland , 93 ' urltoken in polish cinemas from 22 / 11 . . . in uk from dec 6 . coming soon to france , us , germany , austria , switzerland . . . urltoken when kuba , a young man in a stable relationship with sylwia meets michal , the life of the three teenagers soon gets upside down . in a rollercoaster of emotions and confusion all three have to find their own way in life .

polish director tomasz wasilewski delivers a feel - bad coming - out drama in artful , sexually provocative fashion .

with : mateusz banasiuk , bartosz gelner , marta nieradkiewicz , katarzyna herman , iza kuna , miroslaw zbrojewicz , olga frycz .

buff , macho , bantam - sized , twentysomething kuba ( mateusz banasiuk ) has been training as an elite swimmer for the past 15 years . he spends most of his time working out and having hot sex with his pretty blonde girlfriend , sylwia ( standout marta nieradkiewicz ) , who lives with him and his attractive , controlling mother , ewa ( katarzyna herman , star of wasilewski’s first film , “in a bedroom” ) . the relationship between the two women is tense , exacerbated by sylwia’s inconsiderate behavior and ewa’s calls for her son to rub her back while she’s in the bathtub .

otherwise , kuba seems to have few responsibilities or interests , apart from being a dab hand in the kitchen and indulging in wordless sexual encounters with men in bathroom stalls at the gym . when sylwia drags kuba to an art opening , he ungraciously decamps to a balcony , where he shares a joint and a long conversation with effeminate - looking college student michal ( bartosz gelner ) . glimpsing the two men from across the room , sylwia glowers at the way they seem to be really into each other . she soon has a lot more to scowl about , as kuba abandons her and their plans every time michal calls .

a subplot addresses michal’s relationship with his parents . his mother ( iza kuna ) sympathizes with his sexual preference , yet still encourages him to date girls . his father ( miroslaw zbrojewicz ) , however , plays deaf when michal tries to come out publicly during a family dinner .

one of the weaknesses of the film is that while kuba convincingly comes across as a closeted , self - loathing gay man , his sudden declaration of love for michal at the one - hour mark seems out of character . indeed , their relationship is shown to revolve around physical desire ; we never get to hear their conversations or find out what makes the not particularly likable kuba tick .

thesping is strong , with the actresses managing to suggest more about their characters than their male counterparts do with theirs . eye - catching widescreen production design makes interesting use of water motifs , while sophisticated soundscapes leave some sexual activity to the imagination .

a macho swimmer falls in love with a shy young man in up - and - coming polish filmmaker tomasz wasilewski ' s downbeat second feature .

though the narrative ends on a rather abrupt and downbeat note - - perhaps in keeping with the realistic view of how gay people are perceived by a large part of polish society - - this is nonetheless a quite touching story about a sexually voracious young man who , despite frequent action between the sheets with his girlfriend , finds himself falling in love with another guy . it will appeal to lgbt audiences around the world , though the film ' s world premiere at tribeca ; the east of the west honors at the recent karlovy vary film festival and audience award at poland ' s new horizons festival also suggest it has wider cross - over appeal .

nieradkiewicz ) , has also moved into their cramped apartment , much to the chagrin of ewa , who can ' t stand the fact the pretty girl also vies for - - and clearly gets - - most of kuba ' s non - pool time and attention .

but the bristly tension between the women at home is nothing compared to the testosterone - fueled tension the sexually aggressive kuba experiences during and after practice , as the hard and ripped bodies of his fellow male swimmers have started to act like a red cloth on an aroused bull . initially , it seems that the dominant and indefatigable swimmer just wants to get off any way he can , but this eventually and slowly changes when he meets the soft - spoken , elfin - featured michal ( bartosz gelner ) at a gallery opening he ' s been dragged to by ewa .

, for every demonstration of innate filmmaking flair or talent , there ' s proof of a debutant ' s maladroitness that pops up elsewhere . the most jarring examples include the ostentatious use of portishead ' s

- - and some scenes with a totally unexpected switch of perspective to fill in the viewers on michal ' s ( beautifully observed ) coming out to his bourgeois family .

the key scene in which michal and kuba finally become an item is also strangely lost in an ellipsis . the boys ' first sex scene , however , is not only convincingly played but also well - placed , suggesting that , perhaps for the first time , kuba has decided to not rush into sex but finally make love .

the young central trio of actors is a wonder to behold , with nieradkiewicz ( out of love ) sexy and suspicious in equal measure ; theater thespian and swimmer banasiuk impressive as the macho whose mask slowly comes off as he recognizes he ' s capable of real feelings and gelner ( suicide room ) , who looks strikingly like a young alain delon in some shots , turning michal into someone whose emotional intelligence is greater than that of most of his peers .

shows he ' s got a good eye for widescreen compositions and interesting angles and excels at using sound - - or the absence of it - - to conjure up images and emotions that are actually kept off - screen .

kuba ( mateusz banasiuk ) moves through the waters like a shark , zipping through the pool as he trains daily , bred seemingly from his early youth to produce a certain kind of results . this is mirrored with his relationship with conventionally - gorgeous blond girlfriend sylwie ( marta nieradkiewicz ) , whom he seduces regularly , the two of them seemingly in love . or maybe that’s just the cinematic allure of two gorgeous heterosexual people always half - naked around each other : whatever the case , the two live with an older woman in an unexplained arrangement that apparently goes hand - in - hand with his sporting skills . even sex is based around a certain set of requirements .

a date takes the two of them to an art museum , which leads kuba to roll his eyes and even burp at the works collected on the wall . moving outside , he strikes up a conversation with mikal ( bartosz gelner ) , another man seemingly dragged to this presentation , but enjoying the balcony with a thick , well - packed joint . as the two of them trade a spliff , sylwie watches from a distance wordlessly . could she have expected this ?

eventually , because these gay tragedies also function as horror stories for straight females in monogamous relationships , kuba starts sneaking out under his girlfriend’s nose to meet with the mysterious mikal , getting picked up on the side of the highway , or even meeting right after work . despite his domesticated routine with sylwie , kuba begins to question the confident path that’s been set out for him already : it eventually bleeds into his career , with his skills suddenly slacking , his desire to compete waning almost completely .
