Man at war
Director Jacek Blawut
Countries Poland
Duration 75 min
Synopsis
The camera is following the international community of Internet players who, using flight simulators, engage into air battles trying to change the course of history in the virtual world. Their passion smoothly turns into addiction and they become their own Avatars. The craftsmanship of the documentary film master is evident in both affectionate portraits of human weaknesses and in the panache of combat staging. If this is BÅ‚awutÂ’s documentary farewell, it is extraordinarily spectacular.
