DESCRIPTION
Product Description Communist authorities at Gdansk city initiate a smear campaign to discredit Maciek Tomczyk (Jerzy Radziwilowicz), a prominent Solidarity movement activist. They appoint Winkel (Marian Opania), a TV journalist, to infiltrate his inner circle. Making use of his credibility as a former anti-Communist protestor, Winkel interviews friends and colleagues to unearth knowledge of Maciek's personal life. Despite never meeting face to face, Maciek provokes Winkel to look within himself, making the latter increasingly uncomfortable about his duplicitous function as an 'informer' for the state. Revisiting characters from Man of Marble, Andrzej Wajda provides a rich glimpse of life in Poland under communist regime. The film's distinctive blend of actual newsreel footage of the Solidarity movement (including an appearance by Nobel Peace prize winner Lech Walesa) with a compelling drama of a journalist's crisis of conscience makes Man of Iron (Palme d'Or recipient at the Cannes Film Festival) an indelible time capsule of a special moment in European history. Review Angry, poetic, humane and moving; a political drama and a love story; a study of both idealism and compromise with a raft of stunning images and striking performances --EyeForFilm.co.ukAn urgent, nervy narrative conveys all the exhilaration and bewilderment of finding oneself on the very crestline of crucial historical change --Time Out

I give it 5 stars as a manifesto. This is hardly a movie, shot in impossible conditions. For those of you who did not have “the opportunity” to brush against or worse, live under communist dictatorship, take it as a piece of educational film making. For the rest, it is difficult not to resonate. Wajda was by far the most political of all Polish film-makers. And it is difficult not to be political, given Poland’s history. On the vine I have heard some grumblings about Wajda’s pro eminent role inside the Polish film industry and hence the stifling of new talent. That may be so, I am not privy to the details. But no one, absolutely no one outside Wajda’s stature could have made such a movie, when it was made, with Solidarnosc taking Poland and the communist block by storm.There is a school of thought that would have strikes and unions be the downfall of us all. This is not the place to debate on this. What I can say with absolute certainty is that an independent union and a general strike did mark the beginning of the fall of communist dictatorship. And we, who lived under it, saw that - and we saw that was good, as the Good Book says.
