Daleko Od Polski

The Krzysztof Kieslowski Collection 6 DVD

Six superlative works from the internationally acclaimed Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski (The Decalogue). Includes Kieslowski’s narrative debut, The Scar (1976, 112 mins.), a dramatic film about an earnest Communist Party member who’s thrown into the center of a complicated political battle. Jerzy Stuhr stars in Camera Buff (1979, 112 mins.), a biting political satire about a factory worker’s fascination with an 8mm movie camera. The man’s curious obsession leads to consequences both comedic and tragic. No End (1985, 109 mins.) is a sublime blend of thematic elements both political and spiritual. The film tells the story of a young widow who expresses her love for her dead husband by taking up the cause of striking workers. Blind Chance (1987, 122 mins.) is a narrative essay on chance and destiny about a middle-aged man who’s allowed to sample three distinct outcomes that hinge upon whether he catches or misses a speeding train. A Short Film About Killing (1988, 84 mins.) and A Short Film About Love (1988, 86 mins.) are masterful feature-length spin-offs of episodes from The Decalogue. The former won the European Film Academy Award for “Best European Film” in 1988. In Polish with English subtitles.

Three War Films - Andrzej Wajda Three groundbreaking films that ushered in the “Polish School” movement and solidified the importance of their creator, arguably the most important figure in post-World War II Eastern European cinema. Includes A Generation (1955, 87 mins.), Wajda’s debut film about a wayward Polish teen drawn into the underground anti-Nazi resistance movement. The film is a stirring coming-of-age story with broad implications. Kanal (1957, 96 mins.), a Special Jury Prize winner at Cannes, is a harrowing look at the final days of the Warsaw uprising as experienced by a band of Polish resistance fighters attempting to escape the Nazi onslaught through the Warsaw sewers. The third film in the trilogy, Ashes and Diamonds (1958, 105 mins.), follows a pair of men who, in the waning hours of World War II, are given orders to murder an incoming commissar. Ashes and Diamonds balances the personal with the national and is considered one of the most important Polish films of all time. All three films are in Polish with English subtitles. Ashes and Diamonds is presented in letterboxed format. Run Time: 286 minutes Format: Box set, Black & White, Closed-captioned, DVD-Video, Full Screen, Special Edition, Subtitled, Widescreen, NTSC Criterion Collection Edition. 3-DVD set includes audio commentary by film scholar Annette Insdorf on Ashes and Diamonds, interviews on each film with Andrzej Wajda, assistant director Janusz Morgenstern, and film critic Jerzy Plazewski, vintage newsreel on the making of Ashes and Diamonds, Ceramics from Ilza (Wajda’s 1951 film school short), behind-the-scenes production photos, publicity stills, and posters for all three films, a gallery of Wajda’s original drawings and paintings, new English subtitle translations, and new essays by film scholars and critics Ewa Mazierska, John Simon, and Paul Coates.
