Witold Leszczynski - Konopielka aka Ko-no-piel-ka (1982)

Quote:
An adaptation of a novel by Edward Redlinski and a grotesque on country life. A peasant called Kaziuk leaves one morning to collect brushwood. When he comes back everything seems to be radically different. His cow has calved prematurely – which brings bad luck. What is more, he sees a wondering beggar, a young teacher and a party activist at his home. The activist wants to build a school and an electricity line, because the peasants enjoy poor hygiene and live in superstition. Kaziuk understands little of it, but remains impressed. The next day it turns out that the teacher is to become Kaziuk’s lodger. She stirs erotic fantasies in him.

Lech Majewski - Rycerz AKA The Knight (1980)

Quote:
THE KNIGHT (RYCERZ), 1980. Poland.
With Piotr Skarga, Daniel Olbrychski. A haunting, austere ballad about a knight’s quest for a gold-stringed harp whose sound is said to bring peace and harmony. The film’s imagery is inspired by medieval icons. 81 min.

New York Film Festival
London Film Festival
Los Angeles Film Festival

"A haunting, austere parable that has been directed with assurance by Lech Majewski who has a flair for starkly poetic compositions. His film retains its spare, arresting visual style throughout.” -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"Lech Majewski’s beautiful, mystical film, The Knight, has rich nightmarish images inspired by 13th century icons.”
-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Lech Majewski, a Polish artist who works internationally, is known for the films and videos he writes, directs, and shoots, and for his original scores. A graduate of the Lodz Film School, Majewski is also a poet, painter, and stage director celebrated for opera and theatrical events. His stylized moving-image works eschew language in favor of music and fantastically expressive landscapes, both domestic and topographical. His imaginative features are distinguished by a unique sensibility hovering not only between the absurd and the metaphysical, but also the beautiful and the profane. All films are written and directed by Majewski. In Polish with English subtitles unless otherwise noted.

Jacek Borcuch - Wszystko, co kocham aka All That I Love (2009)

Poland’s official submission in the Foreign Language Film category (83rd Academy Awards)

Quote:

Set in 1981 to the backdrop of Communist martial law, Poland’s entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar of 2011 concerns Janek who, with three others, form a punk rock band in the hopes of making it big. Punks had a propensity for incendiary lyrics, and this band were no different; ‘sham fetishists, conformist generation, kill ‘em all!’ they sang, with the naivete of innocence. It was one thing to do this in the cosy confines of suburban Hersham, but quite another to do it while Communist officers watch on with evil glints in eyes.

The band is called ‘All That I Love’, quite a sweet name for a bunch of youthful anarchists, and Janek is its mouthpiece. He is a typical seventeen-year old, living at home with his parents and bashful around girls. He only comes to life when surrounded by his band mates, one of which is his brother Staszek. Their father (Andrzej Chrya) is an officer in the Polish navy, and he is under increasing pressure. Solidarity and the spectre of Lech Walesa is beginning to rise; the people are supportive, and the military is seen as an oppressive force. So much so, in fact, that martial law is imposed during the course of this movie. Curfews are put in place, and people begin to disappear mysteriously.

Janek (Mateusz Kosciukewicz) has two goals in life. The band’s success is one thing but there’s this girl, see, who goes by the name of Basia (Olga Frycz), and she’s into him, too. Sadly, before Janek gets a chance to break his duck, so to speak, Basia’s father is whisked off by the military as an anti-Socialist. She is no longer allowed to see the son of an officer. Janek is forced to look elsewhere for his sexual gratification; could mid-thirties bored hausfrau (and wife of a high-ranking Communist) Madame Sokolowska fit the bill?

All That I Love is a decent, but not riveting, coming-of-age story set to an oppressive backdrop. It effectively demonstrates life in early Eighties Poland, and the perceptions of life at the time. Whilst not as dictatorial as their Russian counterparts, the Poles did not have the right of free speech and this is what the boys in the band rally against. They have the bravery of youth on their side, and forget that words have consequences – particularly in this setting.

Kosciukewicz is very good in his role of Janek. He has to convey both youthfulness and confidence, often in the same scene, and does it well. Watch, for example, as he switches from boy to man to boy again in one episode with his dying grandmother. Writer/director Jacek Borcuch has captured the human spirit well. Other parts of the story are less convincing.

All That I Love is a worthy entrant for Oscar contention, but it will fall short. The idea of setting teen rebellion against dictatorial settings is a good one, and history tells us that Marek and his compatriots had to wait eight more years before they were free from their Communist regime, but the film lacks bite. Whether this softly-softly approach will earn it box-office success around the globe remains to be seen. Regardless, this is an interesting depiction of a boy becoming a man, learning to find his voice as he goes. --from pick ‘n’ mix flix

Wojciech Has - Rekopis znaleziony w Saragossie aka The Saragossa Manuscript (1965)

Plot:
In the Napoleonic wars, an officer finds an old book that relates his grandfather's story, Alfons van Worden, captain in the Walloon guard. A man of honor and courage, he seeks the shortest route through the Sierra Morena. At an inn, the Venta Quemada, he sups with two Islamic princesses. They call him their cousin and seduce him; he wakes beside corpses under a gallows. He meets a hermit priest and a goatherd; each tells his story; he wakes again by the gallows. He's rescued from the Inquisition, meets a cabalist and hears more stories within stories, usually of love. He returns to Venta Quemada, the women await with astonishing news.
- Summary written by {jhailey@hotmail.com}

There comes a point late in Wojciech Has' teasingly labyrinthine three-hour film, "The Saragossa Manuscript," when so many phantasmagoric stories have sprouted out of one another in such rapid succession that the mind begins to reel.

Questions of who did what to whom and which adventures were charades invented by characters who revel in deceit, and which were not, begin to blur into a surreal comic vision of a world in which reality and fantasy are indistinguishable. Or at least they become so in the mind of the film's genially swashbuckling protagonist.

Adapted from an early-19th-century novel by the Polish author Jan Potocki, and set at the end of the Napoleonic era, the movie follows the travels of Capt. Alphonse van Worden (Zbigniew Cybulski), a Belgian military officer who is making a cross-European trip to Madrid but keeps getting sidetracked.

The story begins in the heat of battle as Alphonse, who has fled to a cabin, is mysteriously attracted to a manuscript whose pictures are so compelling he barely notices when enemy soldiers arrive to arrest him.

When these soldiers become as entranced as Alphonse by the manuscript, especially by a drawing of two beautiful princesses, the film dissolves into an "Arabian Nights"-like journey in which Alphonse lives out the book's magical, picaresque adventures. They unfold as a series of dreams from which Alphonse periodically awakes to find himself wounded on a battlefield heaped with skulls beside a gallows on which two executed prisoners still hang.

Fleeing, he meets two sisters, the princesses Emina (Iga Cembrzynskza) and Zibelda (Joanna Jedryka), who subject him to a series of tests of his worthiness to marry them. These trials suggest a goofy, sprawling, all-purpose allegory so overstuffed with symbolism that it plays as a kind of epic spoof of the form.

If Alphonse's soldierly adventures on behalf of the princesses have the aura of satanic temptations, the voluptuous attractions thrown in his path appear to be a mishmash of Islamic and Christian imagery without a clear-cut moral agenda.

The film's central skein of interlocking tales focuses on a hermit priest, later revealed as a sheik (Kazierz Opalinksi), and his howling one-eyed assistant, Pacheco (Franciszek Pieczka), who at first seems to be possessed by demons but who may be faking. As Pacheco tells his life story, it spins off into a cycle of monologues with one character after another becoming the chief storyteller relating fantastic tales of sexual intrigue, skulduggery and Faustian bargaining.

The movie is really an extended jokey meditation on reality and illusion, in a self-mocking comic style that keeps emotion at arm's length.

Jerzy Skolimowski - Bariera AKA Barrier (1966)

Plot:
A student abandons his way of life and wanders, suitcase in hand, seeking a place in life, literally and metaphorically. Two attitudes clash in this character - resignation and a readiness to adjust to life according to the generally accepted pattern ("little stabilization"), and the remnants of youthful rebellion, refusal to accept a boring life centred around making money. (Awards: 1966 - Bergamo, International Art Film Festival - Grand Prix; 1968 - Valladolid, IFF - Jury Special Prize)

Czeslaw Petelski - Baza ludzi umarlych AKA The Depot of the Dead (1959)

Synopsis:

In the rugged mountain gorges of southeastern Poland, a group of outcasts and desperadoes drive old, dilapidated trucks loaded with timber down the winding, wintry roads, with death awaiting them around every twist and turn.

The sudden appearance of a new boss —and his beautiful wife—becomes a deadly catalyst for violence in this dark, brutally realistic film. The Depot Of The Dead is based on a short story by Polish cult writer Marek Hlasko, who died tragically at age 35.

Veteran actors Tadeusz Lomnicki (Ashes and Diamonds), Emil Karewicz (Eroica, Canal) and Leon Niemczyck (Man on the Tracks, Vabank, Calls Controlled) offer gritty portrayals of wretched men in a desperate situation.
