“It’s a story about women, starring women, and told by women. I chose this angle because a woman’s point of view interests me particularly and has done for a long time,” Wasilewski confessed to Cineuropa. “The plot of United States of Love unfolds against a very important social and political backdrop that puts the emphasis on a specific point in history. But it’s also a reflection of the emotional states of women, who, in my opinion, were more sensitive than men to the political turning point represented by the fall of communism.”
