This allegory made during the communist era in Poland contrasts two imaginary worlds, one made up of dwarves and the other inhabited by people of normal stature. While the dwarves scheme to get ahead in the meager environment of Drawerland, the Kingsize people magically move from one dimension to the next, granting them many privileges, including the company of women.
IMDB
Many people try to see this movie ONLY as satire on "soviet times" in Poland. If you do so you just loose a great opportunity to have great time with one of the best polish comedies. Imagine people who have to drink "Polo Cockta" (polish imitation of Coke and simultaneously a symbol of polish tries to be as good as "the western world" many years ago) just to stay in their actual (human) size.
When you stop drinking it you can get into quite different world, where everything is minimized, but with usage of elements of the "big world" (imagine having a bath i a tea-pot…). When you have too little to share, you have to… shrink people. (It's quite funny idea to solve polish problems of the eighties, when we lacked of mostly everything:). This movie is definitely worth watching. Pity not all polish jokes are translatable but… when you "get dwarfed" you will understand.. Oh yes you will..:)IMDB Reviewer
"Kingsize," directed by Juliusz Machulski, is a fantasy comedy that has a good measure of substance. Like his 1984 comedy "Sex Mission," the topic of this movie deals with people that control the masses. This movie could be interpreted as a political commentary or simple entertainment. I found "Kingsize" to have that magic feeling similar to Jim Henson's 1986 cult hit, "Labyrinth."
The story is a bit like a fairy tale. In the basement of a library exists a male-only world of tiny dwarves. By drinking a magic potion, these creatures can become the size of ordinary humans. In their enlarged state they can enjoy the world that is inhabited by soft creatures called women. Cuddling with women is tempting to the dwarves and few ever want to return once they get to be king-size. One of these soft creatures is Katarzyna Figura, who adds a very provocative element to the movie with her charm and good looks.
The ruler of the dwarves (Jerzy Stuhr) wants to control of who can become big with kingsize potion. Others want to choose for themselves whether they become big. Although components of the story may be found elsewhere, as a whole, "Kingsize" is original and very entertaining. I loved this weird fairy tale type of story where two regular fellows learn how the few controlling the power hold the truth. "Kingsize" is delightfully entertaining.
