I Am Burning!

1968 · 27 min

A dry, theatrical curiosity: a stubborn man potters about a crumbling castle while a spectral voice needles him, more droll than frightening.

Overview: Ja gorę! tells the story of a Pogorzelski nobleman who settles in a ruined castle in Samsonów, determined to restore it, only to be haunted by the ghost of its former owner. A parody of gothic horror literature and cinema, the short is based on a tale by Henryk Rzewuski and was produced as part of the Polish television series Opowieści niezwykłe (1967–1968).
How it feels: Satirical, whimsical, light and eerie. Measured and needs your attention.

Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
