synopsis
Polish filmmaker Juliusz Machulski helms the relentless and merciless satirical comedy Superprodukcja. The film concerns a mobster desperate to turn his ditzy, flighty girlfriend into a box-office star. He reels in a perfectionist film critic to author the script, but feels resolutely unhappy with the treatment's artiistic pretensions, and thus forces the scenarist to rework the material as a buttered popcorn picture.
