I, ROSIŃSKI

POLISH TITLE: JA, ROSIŃSKI

Grzegorz Rosiński, one of the most renowned Polish comic strip creators and the author of drawings for the series ‘Thorgal’, has retired. But what does it mean for an artist to end his career? Rosiński keeps drawing and plans to leave the profession on his own rules only. He still needs to finish and verify comic book pages of ‘Thorgal’, which provides us with a unique opportunity to observe the artist in the process of creation. He talks to successive script writers, engages into heated debates with his son, a painter, on the details of his drawings, and reflects upon his own art.
