He made “Samych his own”, the best comedy in the history of Polish cinema. Praise him for that. But you have to remember that as a director he is brilliant: each of his films is outstanding. It’s rare. Besides, despite his great achievements, he is an extremely modest man. Very” – lamented Stanisław Szelc, satirist of the cabaret “Elita”.
