All That I Love the autobiographical third feature by Jacek Borcuch, is Poland's official submission to the 83rd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.  It is a drama told from the perspective of a teenaged musician growing up in a city by the coast of Poland in the early 1980's.  

It is a good solid film with natural and convincing performances and nice raw camera work that effectively captures the feel of the time period.  It was strange however that the film's mood was mostly laid back and subtle, a complete opposite of the punk rock energy and aesthetic that was so influential to the main character.  Still I found All That I Love to be an enjoyable and interesting film.  It's also the first Polish film I can remember seeing that is set on the wonderful Baltic coast.
