MAN OF IRON (Andrzej Wajda, 1981, DCP, 156 mins)As labor unrest spreads through the shipyards, a TV journalist is assigned to dig up dirt on one of the movement’s emerging leaders. A sequel to MAN OF MARBLE (and the only sequel to ever win the Palme d’Or at Cannes), MAN OF IRON is a remarkable snapshot of a nation in transition, as well as a gripping political drama about the power of ordinary people to change the course of history. “Shot at the very epicentre of Solidarity's activities and featuring an appearance by Lech Walesa, this brave, imaginative film became part of the political process it observed” (Philip French). In Polish with English subtitles.
