<b>OBS! Import.</b> Kontrollera att språk och textning passar dig.<br/><br/>Collection of three dramas from Polish film-maker Jerzy Skolimowski. 'Walkover' (1965) stars Skolimowski as his alter-ego Andrzej Leszczyc who is facing a crisis caused by the fact that the end of his youth is rapidly approaching. Having dropped out of engineering school, boxer Andrzej reconnects with Teresa (Aleksandra Zawieruszanka), a former classmate who now works as a manager at an energy plant. She gets him a job offer but rather than work, he instead wants to take part in an amateur boxing tournament. Although they are fundamentally different people, romance blossoms between them. 'Barrier' (1966) stars Jan Nowicki as a medical student struggling to find his place in the world. Seeking to overcome all of life's obstacles, he wanders through Warsaw without purpose until a young tram driver (Joanna Szczerbic) catches his attention. Finally, in 'Dialogue 20 40 60' (1968), three directors - Skolimowski, Peter Solan and Zbynek Brynych - each tell a version of a story in which couples aged 20, 40 and 60 speak the same dialogue in very different settings.<br/><br/><i>Typ: Blu-ray / Limited Edition Box Set</i>

<b>OBS! Import.</b> Kontrollera att språk och textning passar dig.<br/><br/>A collection of three classic Polish films. Set in the late 1800s, 'The Promised Land' (1975), follows the underhand methods three friends, a Polish aristocrat (Daniel Olbrychski), a Jew (Wojciech Pszoniak), and a German (Andrzej Seweryn), employ as they try to get their fledgling factory off the ground in the newly industrialised textile manufacturing centre of Lodz. Director Krzysztof Zanussi's 'Illumination' (1972), is a semi-autobiographical investigation into truth and enlightenment, as seen through the eyes of graduate physics student Franciszek Retman (Stanislaw Latallo). As he searches for the meaning of life through his studies and his involvement with those he comes into contact with, Franciszek comes to realise that life, as such, is outwith our control. Finally, in 'Escape from 'Liberty' Cinema' (1990), a Polish provincial censor is taken aback when the actors in the film he is watching decide that they've had enough, and refuse to speak their lines. After summoning help from party officials and realising the scenario echoes Woody Allen's film 'The Purple Rose of Cairo', the situation quickly deteriorates when, whilst demonstrating the similarities, the two films are accidently superimposed on one another.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>

<b>OBS! Import.</b> Kontrollera att språk och textning passar dig.<br/><br/>Triple bill of Czechoslovakian New Wave films. In 'Diamonds of the Night' (1964), two Jewish boys escape from a train transporting them from one Nazi death camp to another. As the boys run through the rugged and unfamiliar terrain, hounded by a band of armed German villagers, their flight is interpolated by their dreams, hallucinations, fantasies and memories. In 'Intimate Lighting' (1969), successful musician Peter (Zdenek Bezusek) and his girlfriend visit an old friend who is in charge of a small music school. The reunion then causes the characters to reflect on their lives, where they've ended up and how the decisions they've made have brought them there. In 'The Cremator' (1969), Karl Kopfrkingl (Rudolf Hrusinsky) is the owner of a crematorium in the early stages of the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia who finds in the situation an opportunity to fulfil his business ambitions, justify his anti-Semitism and exert his obsession for control. His discovery that his wife has 'impure' blood sends him on a psychopathic spiral, leading to a tragic climax.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>

<b>OBS! Import.</b> Kontrollera att språk och textning passar dig.<br/><br/>Collection of four classic Polish films. 'Eroica' (1958), directed by Andrzej Munk, is a two-part study of heroism. One strand of the film follows the life of Dzidziús (Edward Dziewonski), a wily coward who tries everything in his power to avoid danger when recruited into the military. The other story is set in a POW camp, where Lt. Zawistowski (Tadeusz Lomnicki) appears especially eager to escape, but is he determined to rejoin the war effort or simply unable to stand the inmates with whom he shares a cell? 'Night Train' (1959), a fast-paced, Hitchcock-influenced mystery directed by Jerzy Kawalerowicz, is set aboard a train headed for the Baltic coast. Jerzy (Leon Niemczyk) and Marta (Lucyna Winnicka) end up sharing a sleeping compartment by mistake and are brought together by the fact that they are both on the run from something. However, while Marta is merely trying to evade a jealous former lover, the arrival of police on the train suggests that Jerzy is implicated in something far more sinister. 'Innocent Sorcerers' (1960), directed by Andrzej Wajda, follows a young doctor, Bazyli (Tadeusz Lomnicki), whose compulsive womanising has left him tired and all but immune to the charms of the girls who attempt to seduce him. However, when he enjoys an intense conversation with a mysterious woman, Pelagia (Krystyna Stypulkowska), who subsequently disappears, Bazyli finds himself smitten and sets off around the city in search of her. 'Goodbye, See You Tomorrow' (1960) is a story about a youthful infatuation directed by Janusz Morgenstern. When Jacek (Zbigniew Cybulski), a young actor, meets Marguerite (Teresa Tusynska), a beautiful French girl, it is love at first sight - at least for Jacek. How will the young man cope when confronted for the first time with the vicissitudes of love? A young Roman Polanski also makes an appearance.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>
