SYNOPSIS:

A high energy examination of a man coping with relationships and mortality; Snow White and Russian Red follows Yoddo Wormski, a low level criminal who slides through Warsaw's underbelly finding himself in various Kafkaesque situations. Adapted from Dorota Maslowska's post-modern novel, the film voices the problems and confusion of youth experienced in an urban environment. As we follow Yoddo through Dorota's in-film narration, director Xavery Zulawski challenges narrative convention with highly stylized visuals and special effects that maintain a level of smart, sharp dialogue. Borys Szyc is enthralling as the crass yet overly thoughtful and often comedic Yoddo, moving aimlessly around Warsaw as he worries about his recent break up with the beautiful Magda. The picture has already polarized audiences, and whatever one's verdict may be, this is undoubtedly a film with a clearly articulated vision of the world.
