Dorota Masłowska is one of the most original writers of her generation. In 2002, she published “the first Polish tracksuit novel”, which quickly became a bestseller. “The Polish-Russian War under the White and Red Flag” sold 40,000 copies in a year and was adapted into a film.
Dorota Masłowska: Netflix is a curse of humanity
The author took part in the first edition of the Correlations Festival at the Lower Silesian Film Center. “It is a new way of experiencing culture, also available to people with special needs,” we read on the event website. Masłowska and Agnieszka Wolny-Hamkało presented their own narratives of the films they selected during the event. The texts were presented in the form of a film radio play, so blind people could hear them and deaf people could read them.
Masłowska chose “The Wolf” by Marek Piestrak, regretting that it was a film “doomed to oblivion”. She was still hesitating between “Young Wolves”, but in her opinion the picture was not suitable for the required translation. In an interview with Gazeta Wyborcza, she admitted that although the production is more funny than scary today, “it has an amazing atmosphere” and many valuable elements.
Dorota Masłowska claims that Netflix “devours everything” and does not like remakes of old films
When asked about new versions of film hits, the author turned out to be skeptical. Recently, a new version of “Mr. Kleks’ Academy” was released in cinemas, and a little earlier Poles were discussing the remake of “The Quack” from Netflix. “I think it is a curse to humanity,” Masłowska said.
The author believes that the platform “absorbs everything”, including deeply rooted sentiments. The writer notes that new productions are colorful and present a “synthetic, algorithmized world of what one likes.” “Personally, I am a deep fan of these remakes, but I think they are inevitable,” he adds.
