ANGEL IN KRAKOW, AN ANGEL IN KRAKOW, AN

"Wiecek makes a pleasant, affecting feature debut" (Variety) with this popular Polish comedy about Giordano, an angel who can't quite live up to his wings. A rock 'n' roller with a taste for extravagance, he'd rather commune with his good buddy Elvis Presley in purgatory than perform his heavenly duties. This does not sit well with the Almighty and Friends. Aniolw Krakowie features veteran actor Krzysztof Globisz in the title role and noted stage actress Ewa Kaim as his costar. Followed by Angel in Love. In Polish with English subtitles.
