Plot.
At 82 years old, Lula is every inch the rebel. An openly gay man in communist Poland, he organized underground parties and after-curfew salons of men inside private apartments. He enthusiastically took up drag, despite a fiercely homophobic culture, to free himself from the stifling correctness of the 80s. But now, he's an old, single man in a youth-obsessed world. His friend was crushed by depression and killed himself, but somehow Lula, now Poland's oldest drag queen, remains buoyant. Is he escaping loneliness with his constant clubbing, looking for love yet again to insulate himself against what he knows is coming? Lula isn't waiting for approval. Filmmaker Bogna Kowalczyk's energetic portrait pairs with her subject's kinetic drive, right down to the stellar soundtrack and nimble camerawork. Whether it's meeting fans at Pride or selecting an artist to sculpt his specialty crematorium urn, try to keep up with a man who knows life is to be lived out loud.

Details.
Wiki.
Boylesque is a Polish-Czech documentary film, directed by Bogna Kowalczyk and released in 2022. The film is a portrait of Andrzej Szwan, an 82-year-old Polish man who performs in drag as Lulla La Polaca, and remains committed and driven as both an entertainer and an activist despite the uncertain state of LGBT rights in Poland.
Kowalczyk has described the film as meant to be a portrait of Szwan's resilience and engagement, rather than just a depiction of the challenges of being LGBT in Poland.
The film premiered at the 2022 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, where Kowalczyk won the award for Emerging International Filmmaker.
