Synopsis
The Peasants (Chłopi, 2023) is a hand-painted drama to watch online on iFILM, where every frame is an oil painting brought to life. Married directors Hugh and DK Welchman adapt Władysław Reymont's Nobel-winning novel into a portrait of a Polish farming village around 1900.
At its heart is young Jagna. She loves Antek, but family pressure and cold village arithmetic push her into marriage with his wealthy widowed father, Boryna. What follows is a slow campaign of cruelty: the freer Jagna behaves, the harder her neighbours turn on her. The seasons shift the film's palette, and her fate tracks the rhythm of sowing and harvest. Kamila Urzędowska leads, with Robert Gulaczyk and Mirosław Baka beside her.
The team behind Loving Vincent gathered dozens of painters again, animating thousands of canvases in their signature painted-motion style. The tagline says it plainly: love comes and goes, but the land stays. This one rewards viewers ready for something slow, harsh and quietly hypnotic to look at.
