 PESCI Prize\, Venice Film Festival 1959</p><p>&nbsp\;</p><p>In a small Pol
 ish town on the final day of World War II\, Maciek\, a fighter in the unde
 rground anti-Communist resistance movement\, has orders to assassinate an 
 incoming commissar. But when he meets and falls for a young barmaid\, he b
 egins to question his commitment to a cause that requires him to risk his 
 life.</p><p>&nbsp\;</p><p>« Considered by many to be the greatest Polish 
 film ever made\, and by most to be Wajda’s finest work\, it was his firs
 t film after the thaw. Despite being the culmination of his thematically c
 onnected ‘war trilogy’\, it was free of the proscriptive shackles of s
 ocial realism that been imposed on the previous entries by Soviet control.
  Instead\, Wajda was able to fully flex his storytelling muscles\, craftin
 g a poetic and deeply symbolic work that explored the dualities of the pos
 twar national psyche and energised the industry. » <em>(BFI)</em><img src

 a new\, younger disaffected generation\, reassessing its past and uncertai
 n of its future.&nbsp\;In this complex and beautiful film\, Wajda finds a 
 way to lucidly express confusion and capture the soul of a people constant
 ly trapped by the forces of history. » <em>(Senses of Cinema)</em><em cla
