"Horizontal Landscape"
1978
Directed by Janusz Kidawa
The award-winning first feature from Polish
writer-director Janusz Kidawa. Three construction workers live together in a
tiny apartment while building a new factory. When their foreman, Kolecki, is
fired for neglecting his professional duties, the trio bands together to
keep the production on course. With its focus on the dissatisfaction of
everyday life and the breakdown of moral values, Kidawa's film echoes the
"cinema of moral concern" associated with Krzysztof Kieslowski and Krzysztof
Zanussi. Pejzaz Horyzontalny offers a glimpse into an era when
Communism still dominated, but unrest signaled changes ahead. Polish with
English subtitles.
86 minutes. |
