Cast: Ewa Krzyzewska,Waclaw Zastrzezynski. 104min. Poland 1958.
Wajda’s best known film stars Zbigniew Cybulski (simplistically dubbed Poland’s James Dean) as a former resistance fighter at the end of World War II. A botched assassination attempt makes him realise that the old certainties no longer apply, and the ensuing moral convolutions turned him into one of Poland’s great tragic heroes. Visually remarkable, its setpiece images include the famous scene where burning vodka shots symbolise fallen comrades.
