Quotation from Teddy Bear advertising the XXXIV Polish Film Festival in Gdynia 2009

Teddy Bear is the English title of Miś [miɕ], a 1981 Polish comedy film directed by Stanisław Bareja. Teddy Bear, along with The Cruise (Rejs), was a reflection of contemporary Polish society using surreal humor to somehow get past the censorship at the time. It gained cult status in its native country.[1][2][3] Later, the film was reappraised by critics and it has been regarded as one of the best Polish films ever made.
