Janusz Rewiñski was entertaining not only as Siara. We will remember these scenes with the actor for a long time

On June 1, Janusz Rewiński died at the age of 74. The actor, satirist, and even a member of parliament of the first term of office in the Sejm, where he headed the faction of the Polish Party of Beer Friends, is best known for his role in “Kiler” and “Kiler 2-óch”. The first part of the cult comedy attracted over two million viewers in cinemas in 1997 and, despite the passage of time, it still remains one of the most appreciated Polish productions.

Janusz Rewiński is dead. We will remember these incarnations of the actor

Juliusz Machulski entrusted Rewiński with the role of Stefan “Siara” Siarzewski, and although the title star of the film was Cezary Pazura, it was Siara’s scenes and texts that permanently entered the colloquial language of Poles. Rewiński was perfect in the role of a Warsaw boss who embodies Polish stereotypes. Siara is scheming, he’s not very intelligent, he shows off his wealth, he has no taste, no sense of style, he ineptly pretends to be tough and resourceful, and the only thing he can really do is insult his woman.

An unfortunate handful of traits make the character have endless comedic potential. It is no wonder that Siara’s texts, among Rewiński’s rich artistic achievements, are so deeply rooted in pop culture. “How you impressed me now”, “You bastards have momentum!”, “Didn’t the narrow ceiling fall on your head?”, “Come with me with that storm!” – these are just a few of the quotes that we will not forget for a long time.

Iconic scenes by Janusz Rewiński. Colostrum and everything is clear

This is my bimbo wife, and this is my best friend – Kiler

One of Siara’s many misogynistic displays in “Kiler” can be seen in the scene in which Siarzewski introduces his wife to Jurek Kiler. When Rysia offers a guest a sandwich or fried eggs, he hears: “Fry your tits. Do you know who this is? Do you know who this is? This is Kiler. He can eat Chateau, he can eat an oyster, he can eat what I want it, not your messy sandwiches.

This motherfucker is calling you names and you say she’s nice and that she’s nice?

Siarzewski had no sympathy for journalists who threatened his interests. In the scene in which she and Kiler are watching TV and Ewa Szańska appears on the screen, the famous line “Liquidate her. I pay like the president” is heard. The alleged hitman immediately refuses and emphasizes that he does not kill women, especially beautiful ones.

Colostrum and everything is clear

One of the scenes in “Kilera” that is best accepted into everyday speech is the one when Siara wants to prove to her new friend that there are much more beautiful women in the world than Szańska. Rewiński, groggy with alcohol, takes out his cell phone and utters the iconic phrase: “Memory, find. Siara. And everything is clear.”

And the whole elaborate plan went to shit

Interestingly, the sequel to the film “Kiler” turned out to be as good as the first part in its characteristic humor and also resulted in unforgettable scenes. All fans of the production probably remember the fragment in which Siarzewski and Wąski are waiting for Kiler’s double. He jumps out of a plane with a parachute that doesn’t open. “Fuck it, and he landed, and the whole elaborate plan went to hell,” says Siara, thinking that the man did not survive the fall. When he gets up and greets the gangster with the words “Buenos dias senior Siarra”, Siarzewski carelessly replies “Buenos Aires”.

The Flying Dutchman

Before Rewiński began to be associated mainly with Machulski’s production, he starred alongside Piotr Fronczewski in the 1986 children’s film “Podróże Pana Kleksa”. The satirist played the role of Petty Officer Banquo, and fans of the production probably remember how Rewiński sang the humorous song “The Flying Dutchman”.

In 1999, Jerzy Gruza cast Rewiński as the head of the Nowak family, Edward. The series was about nouveau riche Poles who made their fortunes thanks to flourishing capitalism. Rewiński again played the role of a not very smart poseur who, more often than not, “shined” with racism, unsuccessful business ideas and moderately accurate observations rather than intelligence. In one of the scenes in the series, Rewiński talks to his bodyguard and driver about the need to hire a Chinese cook.

Cabaret Tey

Apart from acting, Rewiński was associated with satire by fans. During his studies, the creator performed at “Meetings with Ballada” led by Wiesław Dymny, as well as at Piwnica Pod Baranami. This is where the monologue “Fuck”, or “Film and possibly Television”, was created. After a successful debut at the Polish Theater in Poznań, Rewiński joined the Tey cabaret, where he performed for several years with Zenon Laskowik. In the 1980s, the comedian appeared in a duet with Bohdan Smolen. And one of the most popular skits they presented was “School”.

Teddy

Rewiński also gained considerable popularity in Olga Lipińska’s Cabaret, where he played the role of “Miśek”, a thick-skinned theater director.

At the turn of the 1990s and 1990s, he appeared with Krzysztof Piasecki in the satirical program “Ale Plama”. Then he hosted the program “Siara w kuluarach” together with journalist Joanna Fudala. He also played in “The Changelings”, “The Ring and the Rose” and “The Abduction of Agatha”, but when he was offered the role of Ferdek Kiepski in “The World According to the Kiepskis”, he refused.
