Dorota Chotecka delights in "Mysticzka'.
A film inspired by a true story hits cinemas
This Friday, September 11, "The Mystic" – a film inspired by the extraordinary story of Alicja Lenczewska - will hit Polish cinemas. In the title role we will see Dorota Chotecka, who plays a woman experiencing a deep spiritual transformation. The production attracts attention not only for its subject matter, but also for its impressive cast.
Dorota Chotecka in a role that required special sensitivity
"The Mystic" tells the story of Alicja Lenczewska – a teacher whose life changes after an extraordinary spiritual experience. The heroine begins a path that completely reevaluates her previous view of the world, love and the meaning of human life. Dorota Chotecka is at the center of the film. The actress faces the demanding role of a woman undergoing an internal transformation – from someone leading an ordinary, orderly life to a heroine completely absorbed in a spiritual experience. This role requires great emotional intensity, but also restraint. Chotecka must credibly show the successive stages of Alice's transformation without losing touch with her very human, everyday side.
The all-star cast of "The Mystic"
The film also boasts a strong, all-star cast. In addition to Dorota Chotecka, there are, among others: Radosław Pazura, Sławomir Orzechowski, Filip Gurłacz, Daria Kalinchuk, Małgorzata Klara, Ewa Florczak and Magdalena Woźniak. Radosław Pazura plays Jesus, and Sławomir Orzechowski plays Sławomir Lenczewski. The creators therefore gathered actors representing different generations of Polish cinema and television on set.
A story that went beyond the pages of a journal
The film is inspired by the notes of Alicja Lenczewska, who has been documenting her spiritual experiences for years. Her diaries later became more widely known and are today an important testimony to her extraordinary story. "The Mystic," however, is not just a story about a religious experience. It is, above all, the story of a man seeking answers to questions about love, happiness, suffering and the meaning of life. The film will hit theaters on September 11.
For viewers, it may also be an opportunity to see Dorota Chotecka in one of the most demanding and unusual roles of her career.
