Floating Skyscrapers (2013)

What makes it different from others?

Captivating movie !

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Despite of its bright and well planned cinematography, this movie is a bore. The main actor is attractive and a true handsome man, but its character and the script can't help the viewer to empathize with its (supposed) inner conflict. The story is too much unlikely when showing two men expressing their love in a physically way out in public places, while everybody around express some level of homophobia. Hard to believe. Another weird feature are the sex scenes: the hetero ones are more colorful, longer and diverse than the few gay ones. Lacking a true original script, "Floating Skyscrapers" is another trivial gay themed movie, but with such good technical and artistic resources it could be a special one.

This is a brilliant cinematic achievement. The director has created a visually stunning atmosphere that grips you just as any great work of art does. He tells his story with virtually no words so that the atmosphere of the film really becomes very penetrating. The cast is gorgeous - everyone of them - male and female - and there are scenes so erotic you have to take a break and cool off. And Poland is so Catholic. After all, they did produce a pope and the modern standards we take for granted simply do not exist in Catholic Poland. The tragic conclusion of the film supports this idea in a way that is really shocking for everyday America where gay rights are almost taken for granted. And abortion rights too. We have so much to be grateful for in America. It would be nice if we really appreciated everything we have. This film is almost prehistoric it is so unrelenting in its bashing of gays, something which doesn't seem to be happening any longer in much of the United States.

Just watch it and nothing new. Honestly, the first half of the film bored me, the plot running to slow and I don't have any idea what's going on with the story. A lonely yet have a girlfriend fooling around with guys in somewhere bathroom. There is something about Kuba's character just failed to show the audience that he's gay (or depress closet gay with a girlfriend and dominant mother).The he met Michal and the 70's or 80's of gay life revive. Homophobia seems like the main plot, along with denial, gay bashing (the worst part at the end), and the tricky plot to get over this gay symptoms.Another failed character is Sylwia. I mean, come on, we live in 21st century and yet she found that her boyfriend is a gay just extremely too long or she just playing dumb because she's just too selfish homeless woman. Oh, and this is another flaws, mom and girlfriend trying to plot a gay son to "normal" life. Seems like 90's telenovela.I wonder if there was 5 minutes extension at the end. That "end" would the ultimate back through of this film to become "great".

I don't know, where to start, that's how misguided this film is. First, we are in Warsaw, a sophisticated European city in the year 2012. And yet, the confused young man has never been on the Internet or to one of many gay bars in Warsaw. Neither one of the protagonists comes from country bumpkin families and yet they are somehow unable to have an adult conversations with,their families. Then , of course the young, able- bodied man cannot go to work to either pay for an abortion or child support for an unwanted child with the by-then ex-girlfriend - instead he throws away a chance for self-realization. Bullshit I say, since I have managed to come out of the closet in then- Communist Poland with social mores dictated by the catholic clergy 28 years ago in that very same Warsaw. Btw. My ex-girlfriend got pregnant too. Sôooooo, in short, what a cowardly throwback.....terribly misguided film that will only scare and confuse some young, questioning men. By the way, killing the only well-adjusted gay man in the film really adds an insult to injury.
