War Trilogy – Three Films by Andrzej Wajda

Watching these harrowing films in rapid succession allows us to watch a great director’s confidence develop at close hand; though 1955’s A Generation (Pokolenie) is an impressive debut for a 27-year old director, both Kanał (1957) and 1958’s Ashes and Diamonds (Popiół i diament) really show Wajda’s technique taking flight. The three films are thematically linked but don’t share any characters, tracing life in Nazi-occupied Poland from 1942 until the end of the Eur...
