floating skyscrapers ( polish : płynące wieżowce ) is a 2013 polish drama film written and directed by tomasz wasilewski , and starring mateusz banasiuk , marta nieradkiewicz , bartosz gelner and katarzyna herman .

it follows the story of kuba , an aspiring professional swimmer who falls in love with another man to the disapproval of his mother and to the surprise of his girlfriend , who tries to hold on to him and their relationship .

premiering at the 2013 tribeca film festival in new york city , the film is the first polish production that primarily deals with the topic of same-sex relationships , and is often paired together with in the name of by małgorzata szumowska — which covers the same themes in a different manner — as films that attempt to challenge existing local social and cultural norms on homosexuality .

set in warsaw , the film is noted for using the urban landscape and its largerly clean , straight aesthetic as a means of conveying the existence of these strict pre-existing social conventions , which the film 's storyline attempts to deviate from .

reactions to the film by both critics and the general public were mixed .

while some have praised the bravery of the film for covering a topic generally considered by polish society to be taboo , as well as for its cinematography and soundtrack , others have criticized the film 's flat storyline and character development as its predictable conventional tragic end .

floating skyscrapers taps into the culture of homophobia , which demands many to suppress , numb , or even kill their own desires , in order to bend to societal convention . it expresses that , although terrifying , when we follow our own desires we permit ourselves the space and potential to be happy . it’s only when we reject or ignore them that they start to become destructive .

in today’s conservative , predominantly catholic poland , an open homosexual relationship is more likely to trigger gay bashing than gay pride ; so it is in tomasz wasilewski ’s sophomore feature , the feel - bad coming - out drama “ floating skyscrapers . ” although the lead character is something of a lout as well as an emotional and intellectual cipher , this artfully shot , sexually provocative feature nabbed the karlovy vary fest’s east of the west competish kudo and is making the festival rounds .
ideally there’d be a way around this , but it appears there is not : if you’re a gay couple in an independent film , things aren’t going to end well for you . the cloud of disaster hangs low over “ floating skyscrapers , ” a polish drama about two male lovers that begins with the conspicuous , unseen activity of consensual male sexual activity behind bathroom doors as if it was a big , honking warning : walk into this film , and you’re going to see and feel it all ; if it wasn’t so upsetting , we wouldn’t be hiding it right now .
the anniversary edition of september 2015 , on the occasion of the completion of 20 years of architecture through ek magazine , includes the utopian project “floating skyscrapers” of our firm . the proposal comprises three buildings of equal height , composed of individual modules that are arranged in order to slide one on the top of another . a glass surface / base connects the three volumes which give the impression that are floating in the water . a motive for this design conception was the notion of “solitary waves” , which are transformed constantly due to sudden changes in the bottom of the sea . these water forms come together and move as a ripple in order to divide again and return to their previous state . this process indicates the presence of a type of organic “memory” . this particular approach provided the opportunity to explore new potential relationships and ratios , which can be imported in architectural design through other , more dynamic organization systems .
it can much more than just a remote outpost : “ through its desalinization and power facilities , this arctic skyscraper becomes a floating metropolis equipped with noaa ( national oceanic and atmospheric administration ) research laboratories , renewable power stations , dormitory - style housing units , eco - tourist attractions , and ecological habitats for wildlife . ”
wasilewski’s intimate direction and interest in artifice manages to eclipse the fact that our leads seem unknowable , unreachable even . kuba and mikal grow closer and closer , but what appears to be love is only captured through lust , the duo rarely exchanging any meaningful words . it’s one of those films where you’re kept outside of the relationship to the point where a late scene showing them laughing at each other makes you wonder exactly what it is that these two discuss . tragedy is unavoidable in “floating skyscrapers” but wasilewski at least manages to make it immensely appealing from a visual standpoint , suggesting he’s only the right story away from making a truly transcendent piece of art . [ b ]
from the sea we shift our sights to the sky , where a high - flying design ( third - place winner ) aims to supplement dense cities with much - needed recreational and green space . capped with a helium balloon and supported by solar - powered propellers , light park ( by ting xu and yiming chen ) is a floating skyscraper .
the first skyscrapers were impossible drawings at the times they were imagined , yet today glass towers that scale to the skies are everyday structures . on land , by sea , in the air ( or in one case : outer space ) , these entries are daring and visionary , defying convention , technology and at times even gravity .
tomasz wasilewski ( b . 1980 ) initially took a course in film direction at the film and television academy in warsaw ( 2001 ) and later studied film and television production at the national film school in łódź ( pwsftvit , 2006 ) . he shot the short feature nawiść ( 2001 ) and the short documentary one - man show ( show jednego człowieka , 2008 ) and worked as an assistant director on małgorzata szumowska’s 33 scenes from life ( 33 sceny z życia , 2008 ) . his feature debut in a bedroom ( w sypialni ) was screened in its international premiere in the forum of independents at the karlovy vary iff in 2012 and subsequently enjoyed success at a number of other international festivals . floating skyscrapers is his second feature .
the title of “floating skyscrapers” refers to a third - act anecdote , but tomasz wasilewski ’s second film is deeply intrigued by the cold architecture of building exteriors and the claustrophobia of the indoors . while kuba and sylwie claim to be comfortable sharing space with another , the camera never fails to capture them cramped within the frame , inconveniencing each other . and when characters collide outside in scenes of lust or violence , one can’t ignore how they are framed against oppressive outdoor objects . with a fairly short runtime , it’s also worth noting how wasilewski manages to capture the nude body , both male and female : a mid - film intimacy session between kuba and sylwie lingers on what appears to be an unsimulated act of cunnilingus between the actors , their hips eventually uniting like two pieces meant to be together .
as evidenced by his debut feature , wasilewski is interested in provocative sexual behavior and has no problem getting his thesps to play intimate , graphic scenes . however , he’s less successful when it comes to creating appealing characters in which the audience can take a rooting interest . nevertheless , “skyscrapers” marks a big step up from the low - budget “bedroom” and showcases the helmer’s flair for composition and intelligent use of sound .
dubbed the “ first lgbt polish film ” , the subject of tomasz wasilewski’s floating skyscrapers is sexual identity in a predominately conservative central europe . the film focuses on kuba , a determined athlete who is forced to confront the feelings he has been , literally , running away from . we are introduced to kuba and the domesticity of his relationship with long - term girlfriend , sylwie , and his highly disciplined , training regime . however , something does not feel right . he is hostile and unengaged by life and the others around him . it’s not until we witness him attend a party that we see a pulse . when he meets mikal , an instant bond is made between the two men , as sylwie looks on . from this moment , the two start meeting regularly defying both the practical and their own personal boundaries of falling in love with each other . there’s something magnetic between them that negates everything else around .
young athlete kuba lives with his mother and girlfriend sylwia ; he spends a lot of time training and preparing for his swimming competitions . at a gallery opening , which he reluctantly attends with sylwia one evening , he meets michał , a guy of similar age . while michał is aware of his homosexual orientation , kuba , until now experiencing a relatively satisfactory heterosexual relationship , is still finding out who he is . a fragile bond gradually forms between them , yet unfavourable circumstances begin to complicate matters . . . . in his visually compelling romance , talented young polish director tomasz wasilewski offers a sensitive take on issues concerning the unmasking of human sexuality , the quest for identity , and the desire for social acceptance . the film also delivers a superb portrayal of the way in which we muddle through relationships . floating skyscrapers , which director wasilewski describes as
the first polish lgbt film , ” boldly raises the theme of homosexuality , until now a considerably taboo subject in the film’s country of origin .
before we get to a few back on the ground , we have covered sea , sky and the next step ? space . that’s where the stratosphere network of skyscrapers comes in – a bold idea by a chinese team to create a skyscraper grid in space . the buckminster - fuller - worthy hex network of globe - spanning architectural infrastructure is mind - boggling in its implications . independently , these incredible towers are impossible to support , but as a network , they reinforce one another , and are mutually suspended above the earth .
the boys have an instant connection that immediately raises a red flag with ewa , in the same way ewa ' s presence in kuba ' s life raised a red flag with sylwia . it ' s narrative symmetries such as these that not only help make skyscrapers a compact and structurally reinforced item but also suggest that wasilewski ' s a gifted , detail - oriented writer . a scene in which kuba ' s cooked dinner for the two most important ( but unfortunately incompatible ) people in his young life , ewa and michal , not only beautifully plays up the desires , awkwardness , suspicions and embarrassment of each but also does so without barely any dialogue , relying on looks and mise - en - scene .
the events that unfold feature the secretive life they must maintain to see each other . kuba allows the resistance he holds against his sexuality to give way to his initial hedonistic pleasure in the illicit relationship . his underlying self - loathing must play out before he can eventually hold up his hands and allow himself to love mikal despite the odds . it’s very much a film about the unspoken . the script is suggestive and prefers to leave the emotional worlds of the characters to the audiences’ interpretation . the sparse dialogue and tense scenes reveal the unacceptability of his sexuality and the disorder it has made of his world .
tomasz wasilewski understands that film can be an experience that engages all the senses . his cinematographic aesthetic of clean lines and sobering , often desaturated , grading presents the atmosphere of the characters’ rigid and orderly environment . one scene in particular hits home where the camera is inside the car in which kuba and mikal drive to the top of a multistorey carpark . the elongated scene is repetitive and measured , yet , as they climb from one floor to the next there is a sense of freedom as they find a place to enjoy each other’s company alone .
the director also utilizes sound in a way that brings to life poland’s cultural atmosphere . the electronic music throughout reflects the austere and detached sentiment that pervades the film . the programmed beats and synthesizers are used in a way that soundtracks the inner lives of the characters . depeche mode’s ‘i feel you’ punctuates a heightened scene that marks a turning point in the film in which all involved can no longer continue to ignore the reality of the new relationship . still , it’s not only the music that stays with you . the sounds contained in the film are at once familiar and uneasy to listen to . in kuba’s home the clink of cutlery , the buzzing traffic outside and shouting from the streets are all noises which are routinely true to everyday life . the domestic commotions are pitched as loud as the dialogue , echoing the noise and buzzing thoughts going on in kuba’s mind . a signature of the film is the shots of kuba swimming underwater . the aquatic drones as we watch him swim are almost otherworldly demonstrating the level of escape he reaches through training and routine . the outside world is drowned out and wasilewski allows us to be there with him .

polari magazine is an lgbt arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it . it’s about the lives we lead , not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead .
its content is informed & insightful , and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community . its intent is to help lgbt readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past .
polari is designed to nurture the idea of community , whether that be social and political , or artistic and creative . it is your magazine , whether you want to read it , or whether you want to get involved in it , if you ' re gay , lesbian , bisexual , trans , or queer .
polari magazine is all these : it ' s a gay online magazine ; it ' s a gay and lesbian online magazine ; it ' s an lgbt arts and culture magazine . ultimately , it is a queer magazine .
there ' s a startlingly honest tone to this difficult polish drama , which confronts issues of sexuality and machismo in complex ways . and even though it ' s rather bleak , the story is involving and even compelling as the naturalistic acting and filmmaking hold our attention .
at the centre of the story , kuba ( banasiuk ) is an athletic and masculine swimmer in his mid - 20s whose sexy girlfriend sylwia ( nieradkiewicz ) is living with him and his mother ewa ( herman ) . but kuba is clearly struggling with his internal desires , which are further sparked when he meets michal ( gelner ) on a night out . as their friendship develops , there ' s definitely a spark of mutual attraction between them , but kuba can ' t even begin to admit that he might be feeling something . michal on the other hand is much more open about it , admitting his romantic feelings and turning to his mother ( kuna ) for help with coming out to his father ( zbrojewicz ) .
polish cinema has been reluctant to explore homosexuality on - screen , and this film is almost a companion piece to the berlin - winning in the name of , which tackled the same themes in a very different way . the title refers to the way the city looks through tear - filled eyes , and offers a rare touch of emotion for characters who are reluctant to admit their true personal longings . as kuba , banasiuk offers a striking portrayal of a young man who feels betrayed by his emotions . this is a prime specimen of masculinity , often naked on screen as he struts around the locker - room or lounges in bed with sylwia . and his internal yearning for the love of a man makes him doubt everything about himself .
this certainly isn ' t the kind of gay drama we ' re used to seeing in the west , where these issues are tackled head - on . this film is much more delicate about it , admitting that in some parts of the world there are deep - seated cultural issues and generational factors that make it very difficult for gay youth to be honest with themselves and others . thankfully , filmmaker wasilewski finds reasons to be hopeful in the repressed polish society . and his beautiful photographic style , particularly in the underwater scenes , gets deep beneath the skin .

polish director tomasz wasilewski delivers a feel - bad coming - out drama in artful , sexually provocative fashion .
with : mateusz banasiuk , bartosz gelner , marta nieradkiewicz , katarzyna herman , iza kuna , miroslaw zbrojewicz , olga frycz .
buff , macho , bantam - sized , twentysomething kuba ( mateusz banasiuk ) has been training as an elite swimmer for the past 15 years . he spends most of his time working out and having hot sex with his pretty blonde girlfriend , sylwia ( standout marta nieradkiewicz ) , who lives with him and his attractive , controlling mother , ewa ( katarzyna herman , star of wasilewski’s first film , “in a bedroom” ) . the relationship between the two women is tense , exacerbated by sylwia’s inconsiderate behavior and ewa’s calls for her son to rub her back while she’s in the bathtub .
otherwise , kuba seems to have few responsibilities or interests , apart from being a dab hand in the kitchen and indulging in wordless sexual encounters with men in bathroom stalls at the gym . when sylwia drags kuba to an art opening , he ungraciously decamps to a balcony , where he shares a joint and a long conversation with effeminate - looking college student michal ( bartosz gelner ) . glimpsing the two men from across the room , sylwia glowers at the way they seem to be really into each other . she soon has a lot more to scowl about , as kuba abandons her and their plans every time michal calls .
a subplot addresses michal’s relationship with his parents . his mother ( iza kuna ) sympathizes with his sexual preference , yet still encourages him to date girls . his father ( miroslaw zbrojewicz ) , however , plays deaf when michal tries to come out publicly during a family dinner .
one of the weaknesses of the film is that while kuba convincingly comes across as a closeted , self - loathing gay man , his sudden declaration of love for michal at the one - hour mark seems out of character . indeed , their relationship is shown to revolve around physical desire ; we never get to hear their conversations or find out what makes the not particularly likable kuba tick .
thesping is strong , with the actresses managing to suggest more about their characters than their male counterparts do with theirs . eye - catching widescreen production design makes interesting use of water motifs , while sophisticated soundscapes leave some sexual activity to the imagination .

a macho swimmer falls in love with a shy young man in up - and - coming polish filmmaker tomasz wasilewski ' s downbeat second feature .
though the narrative ends on a rather abrupt and downbeat note - - perhaps in keeping with the realistic view of how gay people are perceived by a large part of polish society - - this is nonetheless a quite touching story about a sexually voracious young man who , despite frequent action between the sheets with his girlfriend , finds himself falling in love with another guy . it will appeal to lgbt audiences around the world , though the film ' s world premiere at tribeca ; the east of the west honors at the recent karlovy vary film festival and audience award at poland ' s new horizons festival also suggest it has wider cross - over appeal .
. are among the distributors that have already secured rights for their territories . the film opens in poland on oct . 18 .
nieradkiewicz ) , has also moved into their cramped apartment , much to the chagrin of ewa , who can ' t stand the fact the pretty girl also vies for - - and clearly gets - - most of kuba ' s non - pool time and attention .
but the bristly tension between the women at home is nothing compared to the testosterone - fueled tension the sexually aggressive kuba experiences during and after practice , as the hard and ripped bodies of his fellow male swimmers have started to act like a red cloth on an aroused bull . initially , it seems that the dominant and indefatigable swimmer just wants to get off any way he can , but this eventually and slowly changes when he meets the soft - spoken , elfin - featured michal ( bartosz gelner ) at a gallery opening he ' s been dragged to by ewa .
, for every demonstration of innate filmmaking flair or talent , there ' s proof of a debutant ' s maladroitness that pops up elsewhere . the most jarring examples include the ostentatious use of portishead ' s
- - and some scenes with a totally unexpected switch of perspective to fill in the viewers on michal ' s ( beautifully observed ) coming out to his bourgeois family .
the key scene in which michal and kuba finally become an item is also strangely lost in an ellipsis . the boys ' first sex scene , however , is not only convincingly played but also well - placed , suggesting that , perhaps for the first time , kuba has decided to not rush into sex but finally make love .
the young central trio of actors is a wonder to behold , with nieradkiewicz ( out of love ) sexy and suspicious in equal measure ; theater thespian and swimmer banasiuk impressive as the macho whose mask slowly comes off as he recognizes he ' s capable of real feelings and gelner ( suicide room ) , who looks strikingly like a young alain delon in some shots , turning michal into someone whose emotional intelligence is greater than that of most of his peers .
shows he ' s got a good eye for widescreen compositions and interesting angles and excels at using sound - - or the absence of it - - to conjure up images and emotions that are actually kept off - screen .
kuba ( mateusz banasiuk ) moves through the waters like a shark , zipping through the pool as he trains daily , bred seemingly from his early youth to produce a certain kind of results . this is mirrored with his relationship with conventionally - gorgeous blond girlfriend sylwie ( marta nieradkiewicz ) , whom he seduces regularly , the two of them seemingly in love . or maybe that’s just the cinematic allure of two gorgeous heterosexual people always half - naked around each other : whatever the case , the two live with an older woman in an unexplained arrangement that apparently goes hand - in - hand with his sporting skills . even sex is based around a certain set of requirements .
a date takes the two of them to an art museum , which leads kuba to roll his eyes and even burp at the works collected on the wall . moving outside , he strikes up a conversation with mikal ( bartosz gelner ) , another man seemingly dragged to this presentation , but enjoying the balcony with a thick , well - packed joint . as the two of them trade a spliff , sylwie watches from a distance wordlessly . could she have expected this ?
eventually , because these gay tragedies also function as horror stories for straight females in monogamous relationships , kuba starts sneaking out under his girlfriend’s nose to meet with the mysterious mikal , getting picked up on the side of the highway , or even meeting right after work . despite his domesticated routine with sylwie , kuba begins to question the confident path that’s been set out for him already : it eventually bleeds into his career , with his skills suddenly slacking , his desire to compete waning almost completely .
