THE MAN
OF IRON (L'Homme De Fer)
Directed by Andrzej Wajda
with Jerzy Radziwilowicz, Krystyna Janda, Marian Opania
Poland, 1981,
147m (English subtitles)
The
course of events refers to the Polish history at the turn of
1970s and 1980s. Maciek
Tomczyk, a blue collar in Gdansk Shipyards, is an active
member of a Strike Committee. Winkiel, a Polish Radio
reporter, receives instructions to write a report that would discredit Tomczyk. The events which the reporter
is learning about through Winkiel and is witnessing give him
awareness that the strikers and not the communistic
authorities are those who are right.
