About this product

Product Information

Andrzej Wajda's controversial attack on the brutality of the Stalinism that held Poland in its thrall during the 1950s stars Krystyna Janda as Agnieszka, whose final project for film school is a documentary investigation into the fate of 1950s worker-hero Mateusz Birkut (Jerzy Radziwilowicz). Birkut seems to have disappeared without a trace, but Agnieszka, probing the past, discovers the Herculean bricklayer to have been an honest yet painfully naive figure who unblinkingly swallowed Soviet propaganda. Indeed, Agnieszka unearths censored agitprop footage featuring Birkut as a willing promotional tool of party bosses. Interviewing the propagandists, she learns of the actual misery of the bricklayer's life during the period of his fame and of the manner in which his existence was erased from party records once he had the audacity to try to use his renown to greater political effect. As her research brings her increasingly closer to the ugly truths of the Stalinist era, Agnieszka's anxious superior tries to shut down her film, using the excuse that she's gone over budget. The inexorable power of Wajda's indictment of the rigidity of Stalinism--and the vigor of his celebration of naturalness and authenticity--makes this arguably his best film since his classic World War II trilogy (A GENERATION, KANAL, ASHES AND DIAMONDS).

  • A monumental study of state suppression, and individual courage.

    I bought this product because I had seen it many years ago, and wanted to view it again. Also, because it is the first part of the story of the Solidarity movement in Poland, which started in the late 1970s. The second part is "Man of Iron". Both films are very famous, and justifiably so. Clearly the Polish actors are very dedicated. The violent, repressive atmosphere of communist Poland is subtly, and often brutally depicted, as is the courage of a dedicated few to stir the union movement and free their people. This is a very powerful film about how fear can harness and manipulate the collective mind, and destroy human freedom. It has eerie reverberations, being in so many ways similar to what is going on in certain parts of the world today. The DVD was unopened, and therefore in perfect ...
