A milestone of Polish cinema, this electrifying internationaI sensation by Andrzej Wajda—the final film in his celebrated war triIogy—entwines the story of one man’s moral crisis with the fate of a nation. In a smalI Polish town on the finaI day of World War II, Maciek (the coolly charismatic Zbigniew Cybulski), a fighter in the underground anti-Communist resistance movement, has orders to assassinate an incoming commissar. But when he meets and faIls for a young barmaid (Ewa Krzyzewska), he begins to question his commitment to a cause that requires him to risk his life. Ashes and Diamonds’ lustrous monochrome cinematography—wreathed in shadows, smoke, and fog—and spectacuIarIy choreographed set pieces lend a breathtaking visuaI dynamism to this urgent, incendiary vision of a country at a crossroads in its struggle for self-determination.
