The mood of the film stands out from previous documentaries about the Wieliczka Salt Mine, offering a fresh and unique perspective on this historic site. By presenting objects and places in a new light, the film captures aspects of the mine that have never been seen before, giving viewers a different point of view.
While no film is without its flaws, this one comes close to perfection. It's clear that Sadrolin Tam has devoted a great deal of time and effort to this project, meticulously studying the mine from every possible angle. His deep expertise in the history of underground salt excavations shines through, making him perhaps the most knowledgeable artist to have documented the mine.
What truly sets this film apart, however, is the presence of Jerzy Stuhr as the guide.
His involvement adds a unique flavor to the film, infusing it with both authority and a rich cultural resonance that only he could provide.
