"Young Girls of Wilko"
1979
Directed by Andrzej Wajda

Andrzej Wajda's adaptation of Jaroslav Iwaszkiewicz's memoirs is set in the late 1920's. Viktor Ruben (Daniel Olbrychski), a World War I veteran and operator of a small factory, reexamines his life following the death of a friend. Returning to his aunt and uncle's home, he is drawn into a mysterious web of sexual and romantic longing with five women from his past. "Wajda...has made an exquisite period piece which lays bare the futility of attempting to resurrect the past" (The Faber Companion to Foreign Films). Featuring Anna Seniuk, Maja Komarowska, Krystyna Zachwatowicz and Christine Pascal. French and Polish with English subtitles.  118 minutes.
