The author tries to re-create the image of a typical Polish intelligent on the example of Jerzy Stuhr's 'List of Lovers' and 'Tomorrow's Weather', Marek Koterski's 'Day of the Wacko', Mariusz Trelinski's 'The Egoists' and Przemyslaw Wojcieszek's 'Louder than Bombs'. The major criterion is how their heroes understand these three concepts: service, mission and sacrifice, adopted in Jerzy Jedlicki's definition of the intelligentsia. Service, mission and sacrifice appear to mean nothing to the hero of 'List of Lovers', but they give strength to Adas Miauczynski and the hero of 'Tomorrow's Weather' to restore the proper dimensions to reality. The capacity to reflect on something in a reflection-free world bears testimony to the 'intelligentness' of Smutny and Filip from 'The Egoists'. The 'purest' rebel of Poland's new cinema is Marcin (Louder Than Bombs) - a first-generation intelligent who stays in Poland (although everybody leaves the country) because he wants to check out whether Poland can be a livable place; because to him, this is what service, mission and sacrifice stand for.
