17/02/2020 - The film about the “Polish Marilyn Monroe”, which currently has no international title, is the Polish-language feature debut by Katarzyna Klimkiewicz, who previously shot the UK drama Flying Blind

Many Polish film stars shone bright on local screens during communism, but there was only one so special that you only needed say her first name for people to know whom you were referring to: Kalina (Jędrusik, for those unfamiliar with her). Even though she was an ostentatious brunette, rather than a funny blonde, she was often compared to Marilyn Monroe, whom she adored. Kalina was smart, sensual and loud-mouthed, and sparked controversy with her deep cleavages and famous carriage-ride scene in Promised Land by Andrzej Wajda, where her character performs oral sex – although that part was cut from the later edit of the film, years after its original release (1974).

The title of the upcoming feature Bo we mnie jest seks (literally translated, it means Because There Is Sex in Me, but the producers are yet to decide on the final international title) refers to one of the songs that Jędrusik sang in a famous Polish cabaret that was made for television. During the Polish Days industry event in July 2017 (held at the New Horizons International Film Festival), the film was presented under the working title Autumn Girl.
