Review by Peter Belsito‘Dolce Fine Giornata’ is a Polish movie about expats immersed in Italy.Krystyna Janda, Dymitr Solomoko and Kasia Smutniak
The current public and journalistic obsessions with immigration, terrorism, and nationalism are a running theme in Sundance this year. Including Jacek Borcuch’s Dolce Fine Giornata.
Krystyna Janda stars as a well known poet whose remote life under the Tuscan sun rapidly falls apart when her she speaks and appears to support violent suicide bombers.
Janda plays plays Maria Linde, a child of Polish Jewish Holocaust survivors who left the oppression in her homeland long ago. She has a comfortable life in the Tuscan hills with Italian husband Antonio, her alone daughter Anna, mother of the two grandkids.
It’s a casual, privileged existence in the gorgeous countryside.
Maria presides over parties and outings as if on permanent vacation, magnetizing admiration — including the Nobel Prize — that she pretends to shrug off,...

Fears related to immigration, terrorism, and nationalism are a running theme in many Sundance entries this year, although probably none of the films addresses the commingled issues in such a potent yet roundabout way as Jacek Borcuch’s “Dolce Fine Giornata.” This satisfyingly complex drama stars Polish cinema veteran Krystyna Janda (going back to Wadja’s 1977 “Man of Marble”) as a celebrated poet whose enviable semi-retired life under the Tuscan sun rapidly frays when her “artistic license” in a public speech appears to condone suicide bombers.
This very European take on various hot-button topics lacks the kind of easily encapsulated gist that makes for easy marketing. But it’s a fine fifth feature for actor-turned-auteur Borcuch, as good as, yet very different from, 2009’s excellent teenage punk flashback “All That I Love.” Specialty distributors may want to climb on board his train now, as another film or two this strong...
