What to Expect

PremiereLens read

1670 is a Polish mockumentary set on a crumbling 17th-century estate, built around talking-head confessionals from characters who have no idea how ridiculous they are. The format is familiar, but the specific texture is not: contemporary arguments about gender equality and social hierarchy get routed through period costume and szlachta pomposity, and the anachronism is played completely straight.

Demons, fairies, and witches turn up as minor administrative nuisances rather than plot events, which keeps the absurdity low-key and dry. The family friction is constant, spreading across father-son resentment, sibling rivalry, and a daughter who is sharper than anyone around her will acknowledge. Those overlapping grievances give the satire somewhere to land beyond pure parody.

We follow six involuntarily lonely souls in their ups, downs, and roadblocks in the search for a life partner. Tragicomic mockmentary about not finding love.

Why this pick

Evig singel delivers the same mockumentary style as 1670, trading demons and witches for awkward confessionals and romantic misfires. 1670’s self-important characters collide with family and village expectations, and Evig singel puts that same pressure on lonely people, turning secondhand embarrassment into a quiet, aching laugh.

Joseph Batista returns to Marseille after 30 years and discovers that he has an unknown judge daughter and grandson.

Why this pick

Alter Ego shares 1670’s comedy-from-confessionals approach, where characters talk themselves into trouble and the room keeps getting messier. After 1670’s rural family feuds and neighbor politics, Alter Ego brings reluctant kinship chaos and generational friction, with humor landing on domestic awkwardness instead of paranormal interruptions.
