Inspired
by the tragic death of the great Polish actor Zbigniew Cybulski,
this Andrzej Wajda classic focuses on the behind-the-scenes
lives of a director and his actors when they are disrupted
by the mysterious murder of their leading man. It is, in Director
Wajda’s words, “A story about the people who make
films – the directors and the actors.” Film fiction
mixes with reality as a collection of the actors play themselves.
The film can also be viewed as a glimpse into the way in which
Wajda deals with his past and with his friendship with Cybulski. |
