Hieronim Neumann’s *Blok* is a study of urban life that focuses on the collective experience rather than individual stories. By using a cross-sectional approach, the film replaces the typical hero’s journey with a fragmented view of a large apartment complex. The film’s strength lies in its critique of modern urban living, offering a broad, inclusive look at the collective human experience. However, the film lacks specific representation of identity groups, making it harder to identify stories related to LGBTQ+, racial, or disability issues.

Thanks to the use of the trick technique, the film shows in cross-section apartments-similar boxes, the interiors of which are inhabited by different tenants. Hundreds of events happen in the big, busy moloch house: mundane and unusual, funny and tragic. However, they are all episodes to which no significance is attached. Life goes on...
