Taking inspiration from the Italian neorealist movement, and brilliantly photographed by Jerzy Lipman, A Generation changed Polish cinema forever – delivering a brutal elegy to the human cost of war.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKanał\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn unforgettable and harrowing depiction of the last days of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising against the invading German Nazis, Kanał follows a band of surviving Polish Home Army soldiers who take to the sewers to avoid capture. Wajda's second feature is both a thrilling WWII adventure and a vivid, melancholic testament to lives lost and martyr heroes born. Kanał remains strikingly fresh in conceit and execution, and presents Wajda's most potent mixture of lyricism and horror.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAshes and Diamonds (Popiół i Diament)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWajda's most renowned film and landmark of international cinema, Ashes and Diamonds takes place on the final day of WWII, as a young Resistance fighter is assigned to assassinate a Communist official. Perfectly realised, the film is also renowned for its electrifying, iconic, era-defining performance by Zbigniew Cybulski. This vision of Poland poised between the horrors of the recent past and an uncertain future, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in a time of transition, is arguably Wajda's greatest work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecial Features and Technical Specs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Generation (Pokolenie), Kanał, and Ashes and Diamonds (Popiół i Diament) - each film presented from new 2K restorations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArchival interviews with Andrzej Wajda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIntroductions to each film by Polish cinema expert Michał Oleszczyk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudio commentaries on all three films by Michael Brooke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAndrzej Wajda's early short films:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Bad Boy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Zły chłopiec, 1951)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCeramics from Ilza\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Ceramika Ilzecka, 1951)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile You're Sleeping (Kiedy ty śpisz, 1953)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIndividual booklets with new writing on each film by authors and Polish cinema specialists Ewa Mazierska, Tony Rayns and Peter Hames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew and improved English subtitle translations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eREGION-FREE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAND MORE...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Second Run","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42514759024840,"sku":"SECONDRUNBD061","price":76.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/wartrilogybd.jpg?v=1673125239","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/es\/products\/war-trilogy-the-three-films-by-andrzej-wajda-blu-ray","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
