Thursday 7 May
The second of our Andrzej Wajda screenings to mark the centenary of his birth and 10 years since the passing of a visionary filmmaker, who was not only an important storyteller of Polish culture and history, but also of the human condition.
One of Andrzej Wajda's landmark films, Man of Marble tells the story of a filmmaker searching for the truth about a forgotten workers' hero.
In the 1970s, young filmmaker Agnieszka is investigating the life of a 1950s bricklayer and worker's hero. When she learns that the facts behind his story were suppressed, she has to decide whether to pursue the truth or not. Man of Marble is a thought-provoking examination of the moral responsibility of an individual and art in challenging dominant ideology, censorship and oppressive authorities. It's a powerful milestone in Polish cinema.
Polish dialogue with English subtitles.
