Review Samson / Sisu Home Entertainment:Samson is a vastly underestimated film both in terms of Wajda's work, in its place within Polish cinema, and as a profound psychological study. The film begins with an accidental incident: Jakub Gold kills a schoolmate in a brawl, and is imprisoned. When World War II breaks out, he is released, but is confined to a new prison: the Warsaw getto. When Gold finally escapes, he finds himself again imprisoned in the ostracizing world of non-Jews, haunted by the fear of being captured, his life made purposeless. A remarkable film. Cast: Serge Merlin, Alina Janowska. 1961, black & white. 115 mins. English Subtitles.

Review The Saragossa Manuscript (Rekopis znaleziony w Saragossie):The legend says that "The Saragossa Manuscript", the most famous work of Count Jan Potocki (scholar, magnate, traveller, soldier and poet; 1761-1815) was written as a series of stories during the long illness of Potocki's wife, whom he tried to amuse. This masterpiece of composition was written in French and published in France in 1813. It ranks as one of the most interesting literary works of the European enlightenment. Also the film based on that famous novel became an international hit, considered by many film critics to be one of the most important films in post-war cinema. This extremely witty story pictures the most fantastic, fascinating and amusing adventures of a young captain of the Walloon guards, under the King of Spain, during his travels through Spain. This 19th century Don Jaun must pass numerous tests to prove his courage, honesty, and honor in order to become a descendent of the powerful Mauretanian family.
