Summary/Abstract: The director Andrzej Barański can be seen as portraying local, mundane life. His oeuvre presents a personal vision of our reality. It is a vision devoid of emotions, Polish myths andRomantic clichés; instead, it is delicate and filled with a detached humour. The artist interprets the world from afar, so to speak; like an anthropologist. Niech gra muzyka (Let the music play) is a 72-minute film consisting of six etudes relating the fortunes of provincial musicians. The narration is unusual, partly realistic, partly fairy-tale; it presents strange happenings in the lives of the protagonists, village musicians, as if they were heroes of folk tales or creatures from folk belief.
