Second Run DVD proudly presents four celebrated works of Polish Cinema, now fully restored and released for the first time ever in the UK.
INNOCENT SORCERERS (Niewinni czarodzieje / 1960): Following after his renowned War trilogy, Andrzej Wajda made this provocative film about contemporary youth from a script co-written by Jerzy Skolimowski. A vivid portrait of a new and restless post-war milieu, portrayed with compelling lead performances.
NIGHT TRAIN (Pociąg / 1959): Jerzy Kawalerowicz’s homage to Hitchcock. Two people – one of whom may be a vicious murderer – on the run and on a train bound for the Baltic coast. Taut and gripping with a wonderful jazz score.
EROICA (1957): Andrzej Munk’s two-part anti-war poem is a darkly comic, intelligent and insightful satire on duty, courage and heroism.
GOODBYE, SEE YOU TOMORROW (Do widzenia, do jutra / 1960): Morgenstern’s touching and visually stunning story of young love thwarted. Outstanding performances from Polish superstar Zbigniew Cybulski (known as the ‘Polish James Dean’), a young Roman Polanski and a score by the great Polish composer Krzysztof Komeda (Rosemary’s Baby) make this one of the key films of the era.
DVD special features will include: – New HD digital transfers of all four features with restored picture and sound – A newly filmed interview with director Andrzej Wajda
- Extract from ‘My Seventeen Lives’ – a documentary about Jerzy Kawalerowicz – Andrzej Munk’s short film ‘A Walk in the Old Town of Warsaw’ – New and improved English subtitle translations
- Booklets featuring specially commissioned new essays on the films
