Cast: Teresa Izewska, Tadeusz Janczar, Wienczyslaw Glinski. 91min. Poland 1957.
Wajda’s first international hit was this unforgettably vivid depiction of the last days of the 1944 Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, with the surviving partisans taking to the sewers to avoid capture, knowing that instant death may well greet their emergence. It’s a clammy, nightmarishly claustrophobic experience in an environment that Dante would certainly recognise, made all the more compelling by their fatalistic celebrations prior to their descent.
