    Polish Feature Film after 1989 By Tadeusz Miczka Spring 2008 Issue of KINEMA CINEMA IN THE LABYRINTH OF FREEDOM: POLISH FEATURE FILM AFTER 1989 “Freedom does not exist. We should aim towards it but the hope that we will be free is ridiculous.” Krzysztof Kieślowski1 This essay is the continuation of my previous deliberations on the evolution of the Polish feature film during socialist realism, which summarized its output and pondered its future after the victory of the Solidarity movement. In the paper “Cinema Under Political Pressure…” (1993), I wrote inter alia: “Those serving the Tenth Muse did not notice that martial law was over; they failed to record on film the takeover of the government by the political opposition in Poland. […] In the new political situation, the society has been trying to create a true democratic order; most of the filmmakers’ strategies appeared to be useless. Incipit vita nova! Will the filmmakers know how to use the freedom of speech now? It is still too early toanswer this question clearly, but undoubtedly there are several dangers which they face.”2 Since then, a dozen years have passed and over four hundred new feature films have appeared on Polish cinema screens, it isnow possible to write a sequel to these reflections. First of all it should be noted that a main feature of Polish cinema has always been its reluctance towards genre purity and display of the filmmaker’s individuality. That is what I addressed in my earlier article by pointing out the “authorial strategies.” It is still possible to do it right now – by treating the authorial strategy as a research construct to be understood quite widely: both as the “sphere of the director” or the subjective choice of “authorial role,”3 a kind of social strategy or social contract.4 Closest to my approach is Tadeusz Lubelski who claims: “[…] The practical application of authorial strategies must be related to the range of social roles functioning in the culture of a given country and time.

The perversity of the story comes from the fact that the one persecuted is a young man, an Italian, who is a genuine Christian. On the other side stands a row of liberated women who outperform the men in their cynicism and brutality of conduct. The result of the clash is inconclusive – idealism falters, although it has its Lord, while cynicism cracks, even though it’s far from being converted. The genealogy of the liberated woman catches a glimpse back to the past.

Quando lei decide di tornare in Polonia per entrare in convento, lui decide di seguirla nella speranza che cambi idea. Nel frattempo, a Varsavia, trova lavoro in una multinazionale, dove la sua superiore Krystyna, una donna disinibita e cinica, è allo stesso tempo affascinata dalla sua fede e desiderosa di circuirlo e dominarlo. Tra scandali ed episodi di corruzione legati all’azienda in cui Krystyna riesce a coinvolgere Angelo, raggirandolo e rendendolo un capro espiatorio, il destino dei due subirà una svolta. Le sorti spirituali ed esistenziali di Angelo saranno legate alla scelta dell’amata Kasia, quelle di Krystyna alle conseguenze estreme del suo agire senza scrupoli. NOTE DI REGIA Il film, un dramma psicologico, racconta lo scontro tra il cinismo del mondo del business e l’idealismo della gioventù. La perversità della storia nasce dal fatto che ad essere perseguitato è un giovane uomo, un italiano, che è profondamente cristiano. Dall’altra parte c’è una donna emancipata che supera l’uomo in cinismo e brutalità. L’esito dello scontro è doppio: l’idealismo vacilla e il cinismo va in crisi, anche se resta lontano da una possibile conversione.

  • Animating Truth Documentary and Visual Culture in the 21St Century
    Edinburgh Studies in Film and Intermediality Series Editors: Martine Beugnet and Kriss Ravetto Founding Editor: John Orr NIKOLAJ LÜBECKER NIKOLAJ A series of cutting-edge scholarly research monographs covering core aspects of film studies. The series’ internationally respected authors contribute analytical and often controversial volumes, offering a critical intervention into their subject. ‘Nikolaj Lübecker clearly and insightfully analyses many of the most controversial films of recent years by cinematic heavyweights like Michael Haneke, Lars von Trier, Claire Denis and Gus Van Sant. In doing so, he invites his readers to reconsider movies in general: maybe sometimes it’s not so bad for a movie to make us feel bad. As we root around for hope at a time when it seems thin on the ground, Lübecker paradoxically conjures hope where there seemed to be none. A unique and ground-breaking work.’ William Brown, Senior Lecturer in Film, University of Roehampton, London In recent years some of the most innovative European and American directors have made films that place the spectator in a position of intense discomfort. Systematically manipulating the viewer, sometimes by withholding information, sometimes through shock or seduction, these films have often been criticised as amoral, nihilistic, politically irresponsible or anti-humanistic. But how are these unpleasurable viewing experiences created? What do the directors believe they can achieve via this The Feel-Bad Film ‘feel-bad’ experience? How can we situate these films in intellectual history? And why should we watch, study and teach feel-bad films? Answering these questions through the analysis of work by directors such as Lars von Trier, Gus Van Sant, Claire Denis, Michael Haneke, Lucille Hadzihalilovic, Brian de Palma, Bruno Dumont and Harmony Korine, The Feel-Bad Film invites readers to consider cinematic art as an experimental activity with ethical norms that are radically different from the ones we would hope to find outside the movie theatre.
