“Our Folks” (Sami swoi) directed by Sylwester Chęciński in 1967 is one of the most popular and classical Polish comedies. Although it was made more than 40 years ago, the film is still funny and entertains the next generations of Poles. The main roles are played by Wacław Kowalski (Pawlak) and Władysław Hańcza (Kargul).
The film tells the story of two conflicted families, which after 2nd World War were forced to relocate from eastern to western Poland. The beginnings of the dispute date back pre-war times. Cause of quarrel was bounds and Kargul’s cow which got into Pawlak’s field. Neighbours remain in open conflict and argue about ridiculous things, so viewers have got a lot of opportunities for laugh. Families can’t live without a common dispute, but they unite in time of danger. The comedy is accompanied by a great atmosphere and unique climate which we won’t find in films nowadays. Acting is awesome and natural. The best are humorous situations and funny dialogues, which are outright iconic. Music in “Our folks” is so funny and positively disposes the viewer. It suits fantastically to this film.
To conclude, I think it is the best Polish classical comedy and I strongly recommend seeing it.
In my opinion, every Pole should watch “Our Folks”, because this is more than just a good comedy, this is also one of the greatest creations in the history of our national cinema.

I like this review as I like the film itself! Very well that you paid attention not only to the story, but also to acting, music and atmosphere of those old times...:)
