Ashes & Diamonds
Event details
Directed by Andrzej Wajda
Starring Zbigniew Cybulski, Ewa Krzyżewska, Wacław Zastrzeżyński
Year 1958
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.
This screening is part of KINOTEKA on Tour, presented as part of the 24th KINOTEKA Polish Film Festival.
