An interesting study of media's ability to distort the truth, and an indictment of oppression. While the film is pretty good at keeping you engaged, there are a couple of minor issues. It's aged quite poorly, noticeably in the fashions but more egregiously in the terrible music. The larger problem is Janda's manic performance. It's like Wajda pumped her full of cocaine before every take (maybe he did, it was the late 70's). It's uncomfortable watching her twitch and shift around all the time.

Interesting view of Communist Poland in 1950s and 1970s. Director has dual bias - to avoid censor cuts and to please his dissident friends. But these biases are instructive too. Triple time trip, must see.

Citizen Birkut? Newsreels are somewhat special, and the idea of the movie is very good too, but the execution falters: too many off details distract easily -acting is very variable, the use of music is so bad you'd think it's government sabotage-, and it feels too long, and repetitive, for no good reason. The final effect is rather muddy and weak in spite of the straightforward and energetic approach.
