i believe that “the peasants” and “1670” coming out in the same year is a peak of polish cultural reassurance

ALRIGHT YALL
I’m here to spread patriotic propaganda, bc fuck this country if it’s not about culture and art.
AND IT IS ABOUT BOTH SO I AM WAVING WHITE AND RED FLAG.
Anyway.
There is this movie, The Peasants (Chłopi) directed by DK Welchman an Hugh Welchman. It is animated drama based on polish Nobel prize winning novel by Władysław Reymont. It tells a story about a cycle of life in polish countryside at the end of XIX century. AND I KNOW IT MAY SOUND BORING BUT—
It was animated to look as if it was painted. Many talented artist worked to make oil paintings that became key moments for animators to put together. This technique is inspired by Józef Chełmoński (polish painter) and some of his works can be seen in this movie as scenes. Below Babie Lato and Bociany.
You may be familiar with this technique of filmmaking from Loving Vincent (2017) which is a story about Vincent van Gogh’s life portrayed in his style of painting.
SO WHY AM I DOING THIS? Purely to maybe interest u all in checking out The Peasants.
I’m leaving you links to the trailer, PLEASE I BEG U CHECK IT OUT IT’S SO COOL!!!
Last thing i am leaving is spotify link to the song from soundtrack.
Thank u and have a great day bye!

hiii, long time no see ̤̮
Recently, I've been deep into Polish folklore. Reading “Chłopki” by Joanna Kuciel-Frydryszak (which I can't recommend enough!) and watching “Chłopi” (dir. DK Welchman, Hugh Welchman) made me so emotional. It's crazy how little to no benefit women had from marriage.

So the world turned and turned again. The rain fell on the just and unjust alike. Men and women were cut down like wheat. To be born again strong.

Znachor, Chłopi and 1670. It is the beginning of a new era of Polish cottagecore. May it be popularized all over the world.

"After filming the movie with the actors, over 100 painters in four different universities in Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Serbia joined to work on the film. For over 200 000 hours they painted oil paintings on canvas which soon became individual frames in the film. Animators completed the shots created by the painters so that the entirety of the movie is smooth and pleasant to the eye."
This movie consists of around 40 000 OIL PAINTINGS!!! how crazy is that
