Subscribe FreeAndrzej Wajda’s Ashes And Diamonds is an intense and brilliant film that emerged from the new Polish cinema in the early sixties. Set in a small provincial town in Poland during the German capitulation in 1945, the story is a chilling account of Poland’s first day of peace after World War II, dealing with the emergence of a Russian supported Communist regime that is threatened by armed opponents. A regional party member has arrived in town to set up the new government, but so have two underground soldiers with instructions to assassinate him. The film is both dynamic and stark, and a controversial film in its time, depicting a brutal history with great theatrical drama and astounding visual imagery.
