In this sequel to the Man of Marble

In this sequel to the Man of Marble, any kind of subtlety about state's contempt for people like Birkut and his son is thrown out of the window. The central focus is now switched and now we follow the man who is tasked with creating propaganda, not peeling it of the real events, and in contrast to the Man of Marble, this is a primarily a story about a man finding his conscious, not trying to keep it clean. Now the narrative is completely surrounded by historical events of creating and legitimizing independent union of "Solidarity" and preceding attempts. And if you're not familiar with this event, it might not even occur to you, that it's not fiction. I do not think it's better than the 1977 film and frankly, it just seem too pandering in retrospective, especially when it ends with party officials, angrily shaking their fists telling Winkel, that they are going to get them all. Also the scene, where Radziwilowicz was playing two characters in one scene is ridiculously awkward.

This follow up to the excellent Man of

This follow up to the excellent Man of Marble (Czlowiek z marmuru) is simply a bad film. Well-intentioned, but in the absence of a coherent, independent story, it is a piece of political propaganda. For the Solidarity movement, against the mendacity and repression of the crumbling communist state, but it doesn;t make it good.

1001 movies to see before you die. Although this has some narrative issues, this one still is powerful and unique. It's amazing that it was ever made. It was on youtube.
