The author of the text draws on the Polish Film Chronicle (PKF, Polska Kronika Filmowa) in which the subject of disability and illnesses is presented in a very original manner compared to the Chronicle’s typical propaganda contents. Appearing as early as in the first episodes after World War II, with minor exceptions, it remains free of propaganda accents. Instead a stronger emphasis is put on issues related to advancements in medicine, medical technologies and therapies. One of the most interesting topics addressed in the Chronicle are Polish health resorts and sanatoriums, among which the ones intended for children were of particular importance. The article also discusses the poetics of the films, ways of presenting the diseases and therapies in the PKF. The author examines popular episodes about disabilities, medicine and physical therapy, exploring what and how was accentuated by the filmmakers, what characters, patients and convalescents, they were particularly interested in, and how the narrative of the chronicles changed between the 1940s and 1970s.

Recenzja książki Katarzyny Taras „<> czy Edi. Bohaterowie najnowszych polskich filmów – rekonesans". Autorka proponuje podział bohaterów tych filmów na określone grupy: bohaterów czasu przełomu, tych, którzy wybrali zło, inteligentów, plebejuszy, bohaterów trzydziestoletnich. Podział ten zwraca uwagę na zasadniczą różnicę między książką a innymi tekstami poświęconymi kinu współczesnemu, które zainspirowały autorkę. To nie perspektywa gender jest tu najważniejsza – według Taras o mentalności bohaterów filmowych decyduje nie ich płeć, ale raczej ich wybory związane ze statusem społecznym i majątkowym, frustracje pokoleniowe wywołane przemianami politycznymi i ekonomicznymi, różnice w spojrzeniu na tradycję i historię oraz dylematy moralne związane z determinizmem środowiskowym.

Book review of Katarzyna Taras’ "Egoist or Edi. Characters in contemporary Polish cinema" („<> czy Edi? Bohaterowie najnowszych polskich filmów – rekonesans", 2007). The author presents a classification of characters from contemporary Polish cinema. She divides them into well defined groups: those who chose evil during the period of socio-political reform, intellectuals, small town guys and the thirty year olds. This classification points to the differences between the book, and other texts about contemporary Polish cinema that inspired Katarzyna Taras. Gender is not the deciding factor in the mentality of the characters. The deciding factors are the choices related to their social and material status, frustrations caused by social and economical changes, different understandings of tradition and history, and moral dilemmas related to environmental determinism.
