Program Note
In 1990, Eastern Europe’s communist community falls apart. The wind of change and freedom rushes into Poland, yet the future still seems uncertain. At this time there are four women who are unhappy with their hopeless love: Agata is sick of her husband and loves a priest; Renata, a teacher, is obsessed with her neighbor, Marzena, a beauty pageant contestant; Iza, Marzena’s sister and a school principal, is getting anxious because her lover, a doctor and the father of a student at her school, seems to have changed his mind after six years together. Director Tomasz Wasilewski continues to observe love that cannot be fulfilled following his previous film Floating Skyscrappers. With the background of a cold and desolate city, United States of Love tells a story of these women—connected through Renata—and each desperately in love. Reality seems to be cruel as the camera catches it from a distance, as if it doesn’t want to be a part of it, but this is the true nature of love that we do not know - or refuse to know.
