Hotel Pacific

Hotel Pacific, or Zaklete rewiry, as its called in Poland. Romek Boryczko starts working in a restaurant, and the owner gives him some money to spiff up and look presentable. the manager drives the workers all crazy, works them hard, and smacks the help around. of course, the workers are snitching drinks and food behind his back, so i guess some of it is deserved. and Romek isn't making friends among his co-workers by jumping up the ladder so fast. 1975. in poland. all the awkward interactions of the staff. and just by paying attention, and trying to do the right thing (most of the time....) Boryczko gets ahead. Some of it is pretty bleak, but they all struggle on. kind of a month in the life of. Directed by Janusz Majewski, who wrote many things, and directed many films! this one moves pretty slowly, but that may be partly due to the translation.
