‘Letters From Wolf Street’ Review: A Documentary That Takes an Immigrant Lens to a Changing Polish Neighborhood

This spiritual tug-of-war verging on impostor syndrome underlies the entirety of “Letters From Wolf Street,” even in its most acerbic exchanges with fellow transplants, long-time neighborhood fixtures (a store clerk, a postman) and everyday passersby. With a film school confidant at his side (Chinese immigrant filmmaker Mo Tan), Talwar ends up holding a mirror to vital contemporary debates on rising right-wing sentiment in Europe, as well as the intimate corners of his own experience. Feeling excluded from such findings, the filmmaker even goes searching through the annals of Polish history for significant non-white figures who contributed to the country and its culture — an African general, a Tahitian actress — as though acceptance could be a retroactive process.
