[.ca] Man Of Marble

"Man of Marble" sparks fire against censorship/communism:
At a time when Poles became more and more frustrated with communist oppression, along comes Andrzej Wajda with MAN OF MARBLE. Not only does his film speak to a broad Polish audience, but it manages to mobilise them together in a fight for democracy that would last over a decade. The film itself is very entertaining and provides a story-within-a-story concept, following a young Polish student, Agneszka, and her struggles to complete her student film thesis. Incorporating some documentary stock footage, Wajda creates a solid piece of Polish cinema that reflects the real struggles and heritage of his fellow countrymen. Definitely a must for the world cinema enthusiast and Eastern European history buff. (Personally, I cannot wait to have Wajda's Man of Iron on DVD)
