How It's Done

2006 · 88 min Documentary
6.2 / 10 · TMDB

Piotr Tymochowicz, media advisor to some of Poland's top politicians, claims that anybody can be molded into a charismatic leader. To prove it he's looking for a greenhorn that can be turned into a candidate. A call is put out for would-be participants, and hundreds apply. A small group is selected and under go training. Polish master Marcel Lozinksi followed Tymochowicz and this project for three years, and this beautifully shot and edited work paints a compelling portrait of cynical (and quite familiar) demagogy and populism in action.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Marcel Lozinski constructs the film as a fly-on-the-wall observer, relying on the power of vérité. He explores the machinery of political image-making, using prolonged exposure to the process to lay bare its manipulative technology.

What lingers after the credits is a chilling understanding of how easily authenticity can be manufactured. The film serves as a vital autopsy of modern political spectacle. — MovieFinder Editorial
