    Abstract

    The author of the article makes two assumptions: that there is a dichotomy between “masculine movies” (“tough cinema”) and “feminine movies,” as well as “masculine literature” and “feminine literature,” and that literature created by Żulczyk is typically “masculine,” as well as the movies watched by his characters. It does not mean, of course, that women do not have a taste for such movies and that works of the writer (born 1983) are not read by the representatives of the “fair sex.” The purpose of the author of this paper is to show the range of the phenomenon and prove that among pictures perceived by the youth (usually very demoralized) and the adults (being in trouble with the law) in Żulczyk’s prose are mainly: pornography, horrors, dramas, disaster movies, dystopias, sci-fi, fantasy, crime, gangster and detective movies and series, war movies and sports movies. There is no doubt that the climate of these movies affects Żulczyk’s characters and influences both their perception of the world and their behaviour.
