Description
Under the Phrygian Star
, the third film from legendary Polish Film School director Jerzy Kawalerowicz, is the second part of an historical epic based on the writings of Igor Newerly. In
Cellulose
, we saw a young peasant become slowly radicalized during the interwar period.
Phrygian Star
takes up the tale of Szczesny, now a full-fledged Communist who has fallen in love for the first time amidst growing tension between the Polish government and the labor movement. Here, Kawalerowicz offers a multi-dimensional, fully humanized depiction of a working-class hero, while effectively capturing the socio-politics of the Sanation movement in Poland.
Jerzy Kawalerowicz---Poland---1954---112 mins.
