Life / Any good Polish films to watch? [112]
As for the classics, I would recommend films by Wojciech Jerzy Has:
-The Saragossa Manuscript (Rekopis znaleziony w Saragossie); his most famous one, based on the novel by count Potocki. Recently it has been remastered and released on DVD by Martin Scorsese's company. As far as I know the DVD is not available in Poland though (!)
-The Hour-Glass Sanatorium (Sanatorium pod klepsydrą); a surrealist one, my personal favourite
-The Noose (Pętla) and One Room Tenants (Wspolny pokoj); released on DVD, English subtitles
Andrzej Munk. He is most famous for his black comedies: Bad Luck (Zezowate szczescie) or Heroism (Eroica).
When it comes to newer films, check out Wesele (The Wedding) by Wojciech Smarzowski. If you are into art cinema you might like Lech Majewski's Angelus or The Garden of Earthly Delights (Ogrod rozkoszy ziemskich).
