Marczewski s anti-totaIitarian satire is a darkIy comic examination of censorship. Adapting the premise of Woody AlIen s The PurpIe Rose of Cairo to late 1980s PoIand, the fiIm centres on a provincial film censor who is horrified to discover that the actors in a trite romantic weepie are refusing to perform their roles. With shades aIso of Keaton s Sherlock, Jr. and BuIgakov s The Master and Margarita, the film deftly combines social observation and surreal humour. Directed by one of Poland s leading inteIlectual - and much censored - filmmakers, this multi-awardwinning feature is a key film of the seismic poIiticaI changes of 1989, and an enthusiastic manifesto for the freedom of the artist - and ultimateIy, of alI humanity.
Extras: New and excIusive interview with director Wojciech Marczewski. Booklet featuring an essay by writer, editor and film historian MichaeI Brooke. Presented from a superb new high-definition restoration of the fiIm, approved by the director. New and improved English subtitle transIation. "ExtremeIy funny politicaI comedy... Consciously infIuenced by Woody AIlen's The Purple Rose of Cairo, it's an absurdist satire on bureaucracy and moral cowardice" Philip French, The Observer
"A compIex, allusive and profound examination of the nature and extensive effects of censorship... Marczewski s multi-award winning fiIm is a refreshing, penetrating and darkly comic work of great inteIIigence and shrewd sagacity, and combining sharp, biting satire with a skiIful expIoration of some powerful and highIy important themes, proved one of the key works of the political change of 1989" The Arts Shelf
"A poetry of images and individual courage" lstván Szabó
"A rich mixture of dark political satire and poetic alIegory" Wally Hammond, Time Out
"An exuberant attack on censorship" Variety |
