"Depot of the Dead"
1959
Directed by Czeslaw Petelski
The
dramatic story of a desperate struggle for survival by a group of truck
drivers locked in a remote mountain base. Living and working in wretched
conditions, practically slaves to the timber industry, these brooding men
find their ritualized world upset when a woman arrives. Also known as
The Damned Roads and Camp of the Dead Men, the film is based on
a short story by Polish cult writer Marek Hlasko, and features gritty
portrayals of the doomed men by veteran actors Tadeusz Lomnicki (Ashes
and Diamonds), Emil Karewicz (Eroica),
and Leon Niemczyck (Vabank, Calls
Controlled). Polish with English subtitles.
105
minutes.
