Editorial Reviews

Poland released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada. SPOKEN LANGUAGE: POLISH Dolby Digital 2.0; SUBTITLES: ENGLISH; WIDESCREEN 1,85:1; SYNOPSIS: It is the year 1983. Life in a small Polish town seems pretty boring to a group of energetic teens. Not knowing what to do with their time, they form a quasi-sect, worshipping the WSK models of motorcycles. Even Basil, a deeply religious boy, becomes reluctantly infatuated with a WSK motorcycle. Little does he know how much his fascination will help him many years later to convert an alcoholic man to a real religion.

3.0 out of 5 stars Motor has a few very funny scenes that will probably make you laugh a bit if you can stand the idiocy of these dolts, October 19, 2009

This review is from: Motor [Region 2] (DVD)

Motor is Wieslaw Paluch's debut film is about a group of friends that worship motorcycles. Although no one in the group actually has one, they all have a deep admiration of motorcycles and think of them as god. If they are serious about this or if it is just their running joke really doesn't matter but does give you an idea about the type of people we are talking about. This movie is a comedy/drama about growing up and it goes back and forth between 1983 when they were in high school and the present time (2003).

Like many stories it also contains a love story; the romance is between Bazyl, the narrator and main character, and Monika (Ofelia Karolina Cybula). There is a lot of suspense when we see the contrast in the time periods and we are left wondering what happened. Bazyl goes from thinking Monika is the perfect girl in 1983 to not really caring too much one way or the other about her in the present. Some people do not age too well but in the case of Monika she probably looks even better.

Our motorcycle worshipers are always looking to get drunk or to do something stupid. They act like cretins, which at times is very funny and the rest of the time is just annoying. Some things about them change with time but considering how immature they still are, it is very debatable if their maturity is one of them. Monika seems to be the only normal one here and I have no idea why she tolerates such imbeciles in either time period. Motor has a few very funny scenes that will probably make you laugh a bit if you can stand the idiocy of these dolts.
