Panic Attack

"Panic Attack" (Atak paniki, 2018) is a Polish tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Paweł Maślona strings together seven standalone stories about ordinary people whose lives unravel in a single bad moment — a writer bumps into her ex at a speed-dating event, a couple picks the worst possible flight for their reunion argument, a bride quietly dismantles her own wedding, an inspector tries to save the planet single-handedly.

None of it is tidy. The humour is dry and uncomfortable, the kind that makes you laugh and then immediately feel bad about it. Artur Żmijewski, Dorota Segda and Grzegorz Damięcki head the cast. Stream "Panic Attack" online on iFILM.
