Jan 26, 1981More documentary in its approach than dramatized history, this is a compelling story about a 1901 children's strike in Wrzesnia near the Polish border with Prussia. Poland was partitioned at this time, and a rigidly patriotic Prussian teacher in Wrzesnia follows the dictates of the Germans in parliament and insists that the children be taught their religion classes in German. When the children refuse to take part in the classes, they are supported by the local priest, but that does not save them from being beaten. They are also kept after school and tormented in other ways as well. Newspapers, parents, and the nation as a whole get involved, transforming a simple children's strike into a national incident.

L'histoire d'un péché
Jun 03, 1975D’après le roman de Stefan Żeromski, Histoire d’un Péché est le seul film de fiction polonais de Borowczyk. Grażyna Długołęcka, dont ce sont les débuts, joue le rôle de Ewa Pobratyńska, héroïne victime condamnée à l’avance dont la passion pour un étudiant en anthropologie l’emmène dans un voyage périlleux au travers d’une Europe du début du XXe siècle. Vision critique de l’hypocrisie de l’Eglise Catholique, Histoire d’un Péché compte comme le film le plus passionné de Borowczyk. Tourné presqu’entièrement à l’épaule par le maitre Zygmunt Samosiuk (qui fait une brève apparition avec Borowczyk en travesti), Histoire d’un Péché est accompagné magnifiquement par le concerto pour violon de Mendelssohn. Il a remporté un grand succès public et critique en Pologne et à l’étranger. Sélection Officielle au Festival de Cannes 1975.

Goya l'hérétique
Sep 15, 1971Elevé au rang de peintre fétiche de la cour du roi Charles IV d'Espagne, Francisco de Goya jouit d'une excellente réputation. S'il a foi dans l'Eglise et la royauté, Goya est aussi un patriote d'origine modeste, attaché au peuple. Homme de contradictions, il nourrit une passion dévorante pour la duchesse Alba, tout en désapprouvant sa morgue aristocratique. Goya traduit ces états d'âme dans des oeuvres singulières, qui paraîtront plus tard d'une grande modernité. A mesure qu'avance son «apprentissage» politique, ses toiles perdent leurs couleurs chatoyantes pour aborder un univers plus sombre et plus radical, jusqu'à s'attirer les foudres du Grand Inquisiteur...
