With
its breathtaking cinematography, this Andrzej Wajda film is
a romantic yet fatalistic fable of budding love and the war
that would not end. Based on Tadeusz Borowski’s stories
of a German stalag curiously unchanged even after its liberation
by the American army, the film tells a powerful love story
between two Poles at the end of World War II and portrays
the destructive effects of war on the human spirit. When Tadeusz,
a sensitive man fascinated with literature, meets Nina, a
girl visiting the war camp, he realizes that he will have
to begin his life over again. |
