Stories We Tell
Historie rodzinne · dir. Sarah Polley
Canada 2013, 108’

10/27, 15:00 · Kino Centrum
Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who’s telling it. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family.
