Part of Andrzej Wajda: Portraits of History and Humanity.

To mark the centenary of his birth, the Dukes presents a selected retrospective of Andrzej Wajda. 

In the last days of the Second World War, Maciek, a Polish resistance fighter, is tasked with the assassination of a Communist official. When he meets Krystyna, he is offered a glimpse of a world beyond war and destruction, and questions his assignment.

Wajda’s classic drama, which cemented his position as a world-class filmmaker, features an iconic central performance by Cybulski – the ‘Polish James Dean’ – who contributes immeasurably to this probing look at the complex post-war future for a new nation and its people. It’s essential viewing.

Presented in partnership with KINOTEKA Polish Film Festival. 


Language: Polish with English subtitles.
