Popiół i diament (Ashes and Diamonds)

Right after the Second World War, Maciek, a young Home Army soldier receives orders to assassinate a regional secretary of the Communist Party. At the same time, he meets Krystyna, who is a barmaid at the hotel where he’s staying. Torn between his sense of duty and a budding love, he will have to make a choice. That night, a banquet is held in the hotel to celebrate the victory. Maciek decides to go ahead with the assassination the following morning, with tragic consequences.

As for many other people, my introduction to Polish cinema came with Andrzej Wajda’s trilogy: Ashes and Diamonds, Kanal and A Generation […]. Among the three, it was Ashes and Diamonds that had the greatest impact on me. It announced the arrival of a master filmmaker. It was one of the last pictures that gave us a real testament of the impact of the war, on Wajda and on his nation. It introduced us to a whole school of filmmaking, related to what was coming out of the Soviet Union but quite distinct. And it gave us Zbigniew Cybulski, a great actor and a new generational icon.
