NEXT SCREENING:

May 14 - Special Season: From Ashes to Iron, Andrzej Wajda

7.00pm - Demoiselles de Wilko

Andrzej Wajda (1977) (1979) 118 mins

Nominated for a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, this dark romance has been compared to both Woody Allen & Ingmar Bergman.


9.10pm -The Wedding

Andrzej Wajda (1973) 102 mins

A poet marries a peasant girl & the wedding guests gather to celebrate, argue, dance & make love. Adapted from Stanislaw WyspianskiÕs play, probably the most celebrated of all Polish dramatic works, WajdaÕs wonderfully rich, highly symbolic & breathlessly panoramic film is an allegory of Polish identity & was an obvious influence on Robert Altman's subsequent A Wedding.
