After World War II, a Polish partisan (Zbigniew Cybulski) is confused by the need to carry on fighting in peacetime. |
Reviewed by Chris Tookey
|
| | Third section of Wajda's "war trilogy", the other parts being A Generation (1954) and Kanal (1957). Cybulski was hailed as the "Polish James Dean" for his memorable portrait of a crazy, mixed up Partisan; but Ashes and Diamonds is more mature, interesting and incisive than Dean's pictures. This rebel has a cause; the trouble is that the cause keeps changing - and causes have unfortunate effects. Many consider the film a masterpiece, but it has a long dullish stretch in the middle. | | |
