Powidoki (2016) ***

The passion of Wladyslaw Strzeminski, directed by Andrzej Wajda. Reminiscent of his earlier film, "Bez znieczulenia" (1978).

Katyn (2007) ****

Incredibly powerful film about the massacre of the Polish POWs at the Katyn Forest by the Soviets in 1940.

Pan Tadeusz (1999) ***

Directed by Andrzej Wajda. With Michal Zebrowski, Daniel Olbrychski and Marek Kondrat. A wonderful adaptation of an epic poem about a small uprising in Russian-occupied Poland during the Napoleonic Wars. It’s a very patriotic work, but its political message isn’t nationalistic at all. Instead of demonizing foreigners, the film blames internal divisions as the chief cause of Poland’s downfall. The picture is most memorable for its beautiful poetic dialogue.

Panna Nikt (1996) ***

Po dwoch bardzo nieudanych filmach, "Nastazja" (1994) i "Wielki tydzien" (1996), Andrzej Wajda wrocil do formy z ta adaptacja powiesci Tomka Tryzny. Film ten najblizszy jest wajdowskim komediom obyczajowym z lat 60-tych, takim jak "Niewinni czarodzieje" (1960) i "Polowanie na muchy" (1969).

June 18, 1970

Przekladaniec (1968) ****

A hilarious science-fiction satire scripted by Stanislaw Lem. In a near future, transplantation of organs is reaching such epidemic proportions, that legal definitions of individual identities become hotly disputed.

Samson (1961) ***

Mlody Zyd ucieka z getta i ukrywa sie przed hitlerowcami.

June 10, 1970

Niewinni czarodzieje (1960) ***

Doskonaly film Andrzeja Wajdy o mlodym lekarzu i jego problemach milosnych. Zimny, ironiczny portret powojennej generacji. Inteligentne dialogi, cyniczny ton, zupelny brak sentymentalizmu.

May 19, 1970

Lotna (1959) ***

Film o Kampanii Wrzesniowej, o szarzach ulanow na niemieckie czolgi, o duchu starej Polski - arystokratycznej, patriotycznej, idealistycznej i naiwnej.
