BEZ ZNIECZULENIA
/ ROUGH TREATMENT
POLAND 1978
DIRECTOR: Andrzej Wajda, 131 MIN
Jerzy Michalowski, late thirties, is at the summit of his life: Allende’s
overthrow, Castro’s rise to power, the US’s humiliation at
the Bay of Pigs – you name it – the renowned Polish foreign
correspondent was there. Things seem well with his wife Ewa and his daughter
Ola, too – until the day Ewa picks him up from the airport and tells
him at their front door that she will leave him and take the child with
her. Jerzy falls into an abyss and experiences a complete personal and
professional destruction. Wajdas thought-provoking modern version of Hiob’s
tale thrives from his art of splitting narrative perspective.
