"Innocent
Sorcerers"
1960
Directed by Andrzej Wajda
A neglected masterpiece by
Andrzej Wajda, reflective of the best of 1960s Polish cinema. Wry and
cynical in tone, the work is important for being "the first film in
Eastern Europe to chronicle the disillusionment of the younger generation"
(San Francisco Chronicle). A bachelor doctor, who is also a jazz musician,
can't quite commit himself to his superficial girlfriend. He and his
aimless friends find any kind of human contact or emotional commitment a
troubling and ultimately uninviting prospect. With Tadeusz Lomnicki,
Zbigniew Cybulski, and a young Roman Polanski. Polish with English
subtitles. Black and white. 85
minutes.
