Wajda certainly knows what to do with a camera, and this film contains cinematography almost as fine as Kanal. But the main character is a smug twit, the acting is rather dreadful and the script is overwritten. I also gotta say these are the healthiest looking holocaust survivors I've ever seen. There could be a great movie here, as some interesting post-war themes are explored, but the overblown speeches and poor performances pretty much ruin it.
