| Brief Description: | A moving drama of Polish destiny, The Wedding is based on a popular
nationalistic play (one of the best known literary works in Poland) by
Stanislaw Wyspianski about the wedding of a peasant's daughter to a
poet. This exceptional work is one of Wajda's most important films;
for him it was a synthesis of sorts--a chance to put in one unique
metaphor all the ideas and emotions, judgement and love, hate and
pride he felt about the country to which he belonged. A landmark in
the Polish cinema. Polish with English subtitles. |
