Polish Cinema
Have you seen any Polish movies?
Some good directors to start with: Krzysztof Kieślowski Wojciech Has Andrzej Wajda Jerzy Kawalerowicz Tadeusz Konwicki Krzysztof Zanussi Have to see movies by: Andrzej Munk Janusz Morgenstern When it comes to newer flicks I really liked Róża and think that both Las and Pora Umierać are great masterpieces. Too bad they haven't been advertised at all unlike some crappy romance comedy garbage. EDIT: Whoopsy daisy! It seems that I put it into wrong category. It should be in General Movie Discussion. Any Mod nice enough to move it? |
Re: Polish Cinema
Unfortunately, other than Kieslowski, I have heard of none of these people. First names to come to my mind were Roman Polanski and Jerzy Skolimowski. As far as 21st century stuff goes, there's a film I watched streaming on Netflix a few weeks ago by Polish director Lech Majewski called The Mill and the Cross. It was definitely impressive, though watching it on a computer screen might be doing it a disservice

Re: Polish Cinema
I forgot about Polański. Repulsion and The Pianist are great. Haven't seen any movie by Majewski but The Mill and the Cross is on my watchlist. :)

Re: Polish Cinema
It's French/Polish but one of my all time favourites is from the Three Colours trilogy:

And also like: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...dklepsydra.jpg The Hour-Glass Sanatorium Not too keen on the following film but some might like it: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ilmPoster.jpeg |
I've only seen films by two of those directors:
Krzysztof Kieślowski: Three Colours Trilogy The Double Life of Veronique The Decalogue A Short Film About Killing Andrzej Wajda: Canal I do own Wajda's Ashes and Diamonds and Has' Hourglass Sanatorium and The Saragossa Manuscript. But I haven't gotten around to watching them yet. I look forward to checking out some of the work by the directors listed I'd never heard of. |
Re: Polish Cinema
Mother Joan of the Angels is great. You should see Pociąg. From Three Colours Trilogy, the Blue I liked the less. Red is a true masterpiece.

Re: Polish Cinema
The most recent Polish movie I've seen is Konsul (1989), a satirical caper film starring Piotr Fronczewski, aka Franek Kimono:

I haven't seen any of his movies yet but I've heard so many good things about the Colors trilogy that I'll watch it some time when I'm feeling jaded about movies. Wojciech Has - I've seen (and like) The Saragossa Manuscript. The style feels very derivative of Bergman to me but it's a worthy adaptation of Jan Potocki's classic novel. |
Re: Polish Cinema
I'm sorry to say the only Polish film I've ever seen was Polanski's Knife in the Water.

Re: Polish Cinema
I know this is an old post, but I would recommend Sexmission/seksmisja (1984). Great film, It's considered a classic in polish cinema. I really shouldn't say more.

Re: Polish Cinema
Yep. It's alright. I prefer artsy stuff, tho.
|
Co-incidentally I was just reading about Ida, the latest film by Paweł Pawlikowski. Looks interesting. Have you seen it Mr Min?

Re: Polish Cinema
Yep. It's one of the best Polish films of the last decade IMO.

Re: Polish Cinema
I did see "Ashes and Diamonds" but didn't care for it.

Re: Polish Cinema
I've seen only two Polish movies, i think. The Mill and the Cross and The Roe's Room, both by Lech Majewski. Two very impressive movies!
Edit: I just remembered that i've seen Wajda's Korczak as well. |
Re: Polish Cinema
I liked the Mamoru Oshii movie made with Polish crew. Its a Polish film with a Japanese director:

Re: Polish Cinema
I second Avalon (2001).
I really need to see the three color films. |
