The Art of Loving: Story of Michalina Wislocka

Michalina Wislocka, the most famous and recognized sexologist in communist Poland, fights for the right to publish her book, which will change the sex lives of Poles forever. During communist rule in Poland, a gynecologist and sexologist challenges society's taboos and fights to publish her revolutionary book on love and sex.

Footage... A wonderful biography of a woman way ahead of her time, smart, necessary and courageous... that film that every woman should watch, men too... "I am the sexual revolution. And I'm coming!" Probably Michalina suffered from autism, as both her daughter, Krysia, and her granddaughter were diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, which makes many of her attitudes understandable... Sincere, perfect production and deserved tribute... Passionate...

A fight against backwardness is always very difficult. The story of Michalina Wislocka shows how tough it can be, but at the same time - how important it is to be persistent and keep fighting the good fight, even though the enemy seems to be so strong. This story is important also today, when the place of communist apparatchiks has been taken by nationalists and conservatives who'd gladly remove any mentions of 'the art of loving' from the public discourse as well.

Well made movie, with some minor slips, but overall a bitter-sweet, well acted story.

Very nicely done.

What a remarkable woman!

The movie is on Netflix in Polish with English, French and subtitles. Highly recommend, do not miss!

The acting is superb. The story is told in a very light and humorous way. No propaganda or anti anything.

The same taboos were happening in western non communist countries. It is a fact worldwide.

I enjoyed learning about a little history of Poland.

This is the story of a Dr. who wants to publish her book on female sexuality in Polland during the 70s. If that is not interesting enough for you, this film is about a very different view of love, love as sexual satisfaction, love as a role in life, love as a moral value. With an amazing develop of the main characters, some humor, and quality in all production and direction departments, this film is a great respite for female sexuality.

It's exciting to see such great films from all over the world, and this one is not just done well, but historically important.
