Between the Cup and the Lip is a 1987 costume melodrama directed by Zbigniew Kuźmiński. The film was based on a novel by Maria Rodziewiczówna and continues to be broadcast on television today. Although it looks like a classic love story, it hides a few interesting production touches.
Part of the action takes place in Berlin. In fact, many scenes were filmed in Poland. Filming took place in Warsaw, Łódź, Wrocław, and Sopot, among other locations. The Poznański Palace in Łódź "played" the elegant aristocratic interiors.
The title "Between the Lips and the Brim of the Cup" refers to a well-known proverb. It describes the moment just before the plan is fulfilled, when everything can change. And that's exactly what this story is about.
The premiere took place on September 14, 1987. At that time, making a period film was a major undertaking. Costumes, set design, and locations required precision. The result? A production that is still associated with grand scale.
Audiences often remark on Henryk Bista's performance. His character brings a touch of perspective and subtle humor to the film. It's an example of how a well-cast supporting role can steal several scenes.
