Details KANAL (Andrzej Wajda, 1957, DCP, 91 mins)
As the Warsaw Uprising collapses around them, exhausted resistance fighters attempt a desperate escape through the city’s sewer system, its dripping tunnels dissolving into a disorienting labyrinth of fear and endurance. Wajda cuts through any official mythology of military discipline and honorable defeat” (Michael Sragow), crafting a visually imaginative war film stripped of triumph but suffused with humanity. KANAL shared the Jury Prize at Cannes with THE SEVENTH SEAL and established Wajda as one of postwar Europe’s essential filmmakers. In Polish with English subtitles.

Man of Vision: Andrzej Wajda Centenary Film Series” celebrates the Polish director through six of his greatest films.
