365 Days is slick, shiny and insanely silly softcore, with a situation that beggars belief at most every turn.
A thoroughly terrible, politically objectionable, occasionally hilarious Polish humpathon currently gasping and writhing its way up the Netflix charts.

A few facts first :
- This site tried to censor me hard several times for the writting of my review.
- It's the most watched movie of 2022 on Netflix.
- It's the second most watched movie OF ALL TIME on Netflix.
- NO, it is NOT a mygonystic movie about a woman afllicted by some Stockholm syndrome.
- Rotten Tomatoes gives this movie a score of 0, which tells you that it's actually good and very much worth watching :)
To the review now :
It tells the story of a man portrayed by Michele Morrone who is a the head of a Sicilian mafia family and who is utterly smitten by the beauty of a polish woman who just so happens to visit Sicilia. He abducts her, and tells her that he will do everything in his power to make her fall in love with him within 365 days. If he fails, he will admit defeat and release her.
The trick is that this man, being a gangster by trade, is used to take everything by force, he's 6"2 (1.90cm), he has a body that looks as though he's been sculpted by Zeus himself, and even though he is very sophisticated, charismatic, wealthy, and very much of an alpha male, he also can be a little rough around the edges when it comes to intersexual relationships.
The woman, portrayed by Anna Maria Sieklucka, is of course impossibly beautiful, and sports nothing less than the perfect body and the perfect face. She can have quite a temper, be provokative and very much disobedient. She also is very smart.
The combination of the 2 of course makes for a very explosive relationship (initially) and a lot of funny moments.
Now, what i found quite remarkable is the way it approaches the relationship dynamics, which is very unapologetic in the way it portrays on one side the man being extremely powerful, dominant, ruthless, but also deeply charismatic, kind and caring... and on the other side the woman being physically very weak, at the man's mercy, very much submitted to him and upset to find herself in that situation, but at the same time intrigued about him, and in conflict with her own feelings: should she allow herself to fall for him, should she resist....
In this movie, you will NOT find any self entitled and self obsessed, arrogant, condescending, petulant, and deluded western women who can only complain about 'Where did all the good men go', not realizing that they're the N°1 reason why no men want to have anything to do with them. You will NOT find any self proclaimed 'strong and independant woman' who is affected so much by the Schrodinger syndrome that she will abuse her victim status every time she feels it's convenient, again not realizing the cringe inducing paradox and the reason why she is in reality anything but strong and independant.
This movie absolutely and utterly goes away with that kind of brainwashed women, deluded and miserable. Instead it goes back to the true inner woman's nature and their desire : the need for a powerful, strong, reliable, dominant and capable male. The need to submit and feel loved and protected. The need to let go and let herself be lead.
This movie tells you a secret about women that today's society fiercly tries to hide by any means : in their heart of hearts, women crave a relationship like this. It is in fact more than a craving, it is a deep viceral need.
If anything, this movie is about a woman who learns to abandon the teachings of a western society gone wrong, a society that would want to see women equal to men in every way, despite all their differences : in biology, needs, nature....
And if indeed men and women should have the same rights in front of the law, they are anything but equal when it comes to intersexual relationships. Instead, they are complementary.
Let me say that again : NOT equal, but complementary.
This movie perfectly reflects that. This is why it is so refreshing. It is void of all feminist **** or leftist activism.
All in all, that kind of movie is really not my usual choice, but i was pleasantly surprised and entertained. I enjoyed watching the woman slowly falling in love with the gangster, and him in return learning to express his inner kindness and be more civilized towards her.
The acting was ok, but nothing fantastic either, so i won't watch it twice for sure, but it was good enough while it lasted.

A daring mixture of “The Godfather,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Pretty Woman,” “365 dni (Days)” makes “Fifty Shades of Grey” look like kindergarten. The totally unbelievable plot is accentuated by the clever parallel introduction of the two main characters, and then its off to the races in a fascinating world of danger, eroticism, and the redemptive power of love. Supremely addictive!

It's an erotic film, and it draws on that quite a lot, too, I'd say. The story isn't that great and actually I think it's not that great. Fans of erotica will probably find their thing here, but otherwise I would advise avoiding this film. For me, a weak film that I don't recommend.

This Polish import was #1 for 10 days, which is the 2nd highest record in Netflix history. A hunky but impossibly chauvinistic Sicilian boss becomes obsessed by a woman he sees on the beach. He kidnaps her with the deal that she has a year to fall in love with him or she'll be released. The plot trajectory is obvious, but it's not the story or characters that matter: The profusion of sometimes cruel, sometimes forced sex scenes reminded me of the old soft core days of Cinemax. Pretty much everything about the narrative is absurd, but the locations and lifestyles are rich. That doesn't make up for the misogynistic attitude and extended porno-adjacent scenes (always accompanied by a terrible soundtrack).

Esta película tiene una pésima historia, que aunque trate de ser ejecutada de buena manera por los actores, no deja de ser una historia sin sentido.
