OPINIONS:

„The Way of Life” | Gazeta Wyborcza

“The Way of Life” is a dramatic account of the interviews which director Mariusz Front carried out with young Poles leaving for Bosnia and Croatia. It won a prize for ‘its moral and artistic prowess revealing the irrational desire for killing at war’.

 „The Way of Life” | Głos Poranny

Mariusz Front won the White Cobra Grand Prix with his film “The Way of Life”. The laureate showed in his work the Balkan conflict in the former Yugoslavia from the viewpoint of young Poles, who, of their own accord, went to fight in Bosnia and Croatia, blinded by one thing – the desire to test themselves at war.
