The interwar period was a time of intense development of the independent Polish state, as well as art, cinema, and popular culture. Reporters, critics, and journalists closely followed and commented on the changes taking place in the film world: technological innovations, the rise and fall of film stars, career paths of great directors. They describe controversies related to the introduction of sound in cinema or avant-garde experiments, ironize about the level of dialogues in Polish screenplays, and follow the changes in the image of French lovers.
