这是一个真实地让人欲哭无泪的故事，哀其不幸，怒气不争。
波兰现实主义作品，说的是一位女性众叛亲离，最后走向死亡的故事。
女主人公有一个很美丽的名字，贝亚塔，一位来自波兰乡下的姑娘，嫁给了一位波兰城市里的小伙子。影片在房地产商宣布破产的背景下，拉开了序幕，贝亚塔的一家将全部的积蓄投资给了新房子。房地产商宣布破产，贝亚塔一家的多年积蓄付诸东流。
在这种落魄的情景下，贝亚塔的丈夫带着她和两个年幼的孩子和霸道专横的母亲住在了一起。住进来的第一天，双方的矛盾始见端倪，她的婆婆开始嫌弃贝亚塔没...
Andrzej Wajda could make better movies while asleep than most other directors could in their top form. The hand of master could easily be seen here, and he wasn't even trying. The setting and costumes are well prepared. Andrzej Seweryn as Rejent and Janusz Gajos as Czesnik deliver very good performances, they alone are reason enough to see the movie. Klara's acting is not bad, but she just doesn't fit the part. Waclaw, on the other hand, has a couple of good moments, but generally he's a disappo...
This was a very fun film to watch and Polanski uses a lot of camera tricks to make this a visually interesting film. I heard that this was considered "Funny and Sexy" and it is very humorous but I can't consider it that sexy. He gets Sharon Tate in a film and she takes like three bath's but nothing else happens. No hiding behind a towel or anything. This definitely should have been a much more sexy film. Former boxing champion Terry Downes plays the hunchback and the scene towards the end when h...
背景设在二战期间波兰的纳粹占领区。几个波兰士兵残忍杀害了一个女人、她儿子和媳妇。丈夫和他的父亲则逃往森林。这个年轻人决定参加抵抗战争，但最初见面时盖世太保就杀死了他的信使，并进行追捕。在逃亡期间，他在一所公寓里替一名怀孕妇女接生。他在伤寒症诊所中心工作。在接种疫苗后，他成为了研究的实验品……祖拉斯基的处女作，却比他今后的作品更加晦涩，可是却透着更加真实的环境背景和故事逻辑，而且没有那些性或性暗示的镜头，所以对这部片子的感觉胜过他的《情欲写真》等成名作品。
故事本身并不是...
波兰斯基参与的一部小短片
What a surprise, and what fun! Although I remember seeing promotional shots of this movie back in the 70s, hearing no more about it, I eventually decided it must never have been made. But, here it is in all its craziness. The beginning is rather edgy as the delectable, Sydne Rome is almost gang raped before the action swings into slapstick and she escapes, albeit with ripped t-shirt. This is as fully dressed as she ever is in this ending up fully nude and leaving the madhouse as quickly as she e...
I can sort of understand the confusion of anyone watching that film who is not familiar with the era and the subject matter. For those - movie makes no sense whatsoever making. Causing annoyance for the time wasted. One of the reasons (and there are few) I have totally loved the movie is that it hits the spot. It depicts something that is no longer there. The grotesques are right on the money. From the trashy metal band (that is surprisingly still around with the same stupid look sporting lack o...
Lamp, The (1959)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Surreal film from Roman Polanski about a doll maker. There's really no "story" here but instead we get various strange images. The images are nice but overall the film somewhat drags.
When Angels Fall (1959)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
An elderly woman works a lousy job but she's capable of seeing things like no other. This short from Polanski has a lot of good moments but it really doesn't work well enough for the running time. The use of color was nicely done ...
Evidentally this is sort of a "lost" film. The DVD copy is half in color, and half in tinted black and white. No previous comments on IMDb or Netflix. An astounding circumstance for a film of this high quality by a known director.
This an iconic tale of a beautiful horse that has several owners, sort of a mixture of "Black Beauty" and "The Red Shoes". There's an interesting love triangle among the humans, set in early World War II, I think. The white of a bride's dress is paralleled with the h...
As a carbon copy of a standard French New Wave film ( closer to François Moreuil than to François Truffaut ), "Do widzenia, do jutra" benefits from the same virtues and suffers from the same vices as the model it takes its inspiration from.
Among the qualities the fresh, unaffected tone of the actors who seem to be what they are in life. On the other hand, the streets and sites of Gdansk are photographed so well and so close to everyday reality that the viewer is made to feel like booking a gui...
may surprise those who know him best from Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown and The Pianist that several of Roman Polanski's early short features took the form of silent comedies, reminiscent of Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel and Hardy and Jacques Tati. The main difference to traditional silent comedies was that Polanski's were wacky and surreal, but not very funny. This is the exception.
The Fat Man and the Thin Man (or The Fat and the Lean; there are several English translations) is one of a small number o...
