D’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.

A family saga of Barbara Ostrzeńska-Niechcic and Bogumił Niechcic against the backdrop of the January Uprising of 1863 and World War I. The film is a rather straightforward and faithful adaptation of a novel by Maria Dabrowska with the same title. The plot is woven around the changing fortunes of a noble (upper-class) Niechcic family in the pre-WWI Poland. There are two main crossing threads: a social history one and an existential one.
