Quote:
An adaptation of the novel by French writer Frédérick Tristan. The work is structurally similar to the famous “The Saragossa Manuscript”. It is an oneiric tale of a teenage Balthazar who, escaping the Inquisition, travels to Jerusalem accompanied by companions from the earthly and otherworldly worlds.

Quote:
Balthazar Kober (Rafal Wieczynski) is a young man who ventures across plague-ridden Germany during the 16th century. Possessed with magical powers, the stuttering Balthazar can conjure up the angel Gabriel and his late mother (Emmanuele Riva). The hero is helped by a wise philosopher (Michael Lonsdale), who guides the orphan wanderer as he travels. The story is taken from the novel by French author Frederick Tristan.

Kober is a young man whose picaresque journey takes him through a society in turmoil, where the spread of literacy and printing, and the new ideas they disseminate, are threatening the established order. He pursues a young woman minstrel into the underworld (in a reversal of the Orpheus legend), and is pursued by another agent who also seems to be not entirely of this world. Like all good story tellers, Has never explains too much, but his gorgeous color photography and perfect sense of pacing carry us along on Kober’s journey.

The post Wojciech Has – Pozegnania AKA Farewells (1958) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Set during the World War I in a prison cell. A newspaper satirist, a safecracker and a clerical murderer have been loaded into a common cell until the investigation into their supposed crimes has been finished. The journalist takes copious notes on the situation hoping to publish them later as a novel. The writer catches typhus and in his feverish delirium is no longer able to distinguish between the reality and fantasy of his writing.

The post Wojciech Has – Pismak AKA Write and Fight (1985) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The visualization of a day in the life of an alcoholic, teeming with images of anxiety and Kafkaesque paranoia. Adapted from Marek Hlasko’s novel The First Step in the Clouds, THE NOOSE is movie as delirium tremens, as a young man escapes his cramped flat to wander from bar to bar, unable to escape the trap of isolation. THE NOOSE tightens as Kuba, nearly saved by the love of a good woman, dives deeper into hallucinatory intoxication.

The post Wojciech Has – Petla AKA The Noose (1958) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
A drama about unfulfilled love (screenplay by Kazimierz Brandys based on his own short story). The film is for the most part the reminiscence of a radio actress named Felicja, who thinks back to the World War II occupation of Poland by Germany, when she hid a man (Wiktor) sought by the Gestapo in her apartment for a prolonged period. In order to remove suspicion from herself, she began to appear on stage, which rendered her a collaborator in the eyes of her peers from the acting community. Felicja made this sacrifice for Wiktor because she loved him and in spite of her love being unreturned. On the other hand, Wiktor perceives her sacrifice as a burden though Felicja does not notice this. He considers his own position humiliating and ultimately abandons Felicja. At the war’s end, he returns to her, but solely in order to commit suicide. After many years, the actress’s singular voice wins her the admiration of radio listeners and she regains her professional position. The wartime experience has made her a mature, strong woman. “These two people,” wrote K. Eberhardt, “fail in their attempts to rescue each other: she fails to save him from death, he does not succeed in alleviating her solitude. Their efforts prove fruitless. It has been a long time since a Polish film has offered us such a bitter moral.” Awards: 1962 – Golden Gate Awards at the San Francisco International Film Festival for the screenplay by Kazimierz Brandys and for Barbara Krafftowna’s performance as Felicja; 1963 – Edinburgh International Film Festival – honorable mention; Cork International Film Festival – honorable mention; 1964 – Beirut International Film Festival – FIPRESCI Award; Golden Duck – “Film” monthly award for best film of 1963.

Quote:
The film shows the revival of Warsaw after the war. The city slowly rises from the fall, mainly thanks to the people who work hard to rebuild their capital. The documentary, despite its obvious propaganda message, has been made for heart-rending, and today its paintings represent an undeniable historical and archival value.
