The Krzysztof Kieslowski Collection 6 DVD Six superlative works from the internationally acclaimed Polish � lmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski (The Decalogue). Includes Kieslowski’s narrative debut, The Scar (1976, 112 mins.), a dramatic � lm about an earnest Communist Party member who’s thrown into the center of a complicated political battle. Jerzy Stuhr stars in Camera Bu� (1979, 112 mins.), a biting political satire about a factory worker’s fascina-tion with an 8mm movie camera. The man’s curious obsession leads to consequences both comedic and tragic. No End (1985, 109 mins.) is a sublime blend of thematic elements both political and spiritual. The � lm tells the story of a young widow who expresses her love for her dead husband by taking up the cause of striking workers. Blind Chance (1987, 122 mins.) is a narrative essay on chance and destiny about a middle-aged man who’s allowed to sample three distinct outcomes that hinge upon whether he catches or misses a speeding train. A Short Film About Killing (1988, 84 mins.) and A Short Film About Love (1988, 86 mins.) are masterful feature-length spin-o� s of episodes from The Decalogue. The former won the European Film Academy Award for “Best European Film” in 1988. In Polish with English subtitles.

Three War Films - Andrzej Wajda

Three groundbreaking � lms that ushered in the “Polish School” movement and solidi� ed the importance of their creator, arguably the most important � gure in post-World War II Eastern European cinema. Includes A Generation (1955, 87 mins.), Wajda’s debut � lm about a wayward Polish teen drawn into the underground anti-Nazi resistance movement. The � lm is a stirring coming-of-age story with broad implications. Kanal (1957, 96 mins.), a Special Jury Prize winner at Cannes, is a harrowing look at the � nal days of the Warsawuprising as experienced by a band of Polish resistance � ghters attempting to escape the Nazi onslaught through the Warsaw sewers. The third � lm in the trilogy, Ashes and Diamonds (1958, 105 mins.), follows a pair of men who, in the waning hours of World War II, are given orders to murder an incoming commissar. Ashes and Diamonds balances the personal with the national and is considered one of the most important Polish � lms of all time. All three � lms are in Polish with English subtitles. Ashes and Diamonds is presented in letterboxed format.
