1973 Polish film by Jan Rybkowski

1961 ZLOTO / GOLD DREAMS - An ensemble cast features in this psychological drama (screenplay by Bohdan Czeszko) that almost seems to be a routine propaganda film. Set on the building site of an energy plant, it centers on a young man who finds it difficult to work in a team and simultaneously harbors a secret. He is running from responsibility for he believes that while driving he hit and killed a pedestrian. In time, it turns out that he in fact it a dog. Has appeared in this film in a bit part, portraying a police officer.

In the rugged mountain gorges and ravines of southeastern Poland, a new boss and his wife become a catalyst for violence.

The Doll is an adaptation of the novel, The Doll (novel) by Bolesław Prus, which is regarded by many as one of the finest Polish novels ever written and, along with Pharaoh (novel), made Bolesław Prus a potential candidate for the Nobel Prize in literature. The influence of Émile Zola is evident, and some have compared the novel to Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert; both were Prus's contemporaries. The movie, however, may be more compared to Stendhal's Le Rouge et le Noir, (The Red and the Black).
The Doll constitutes a panorama of life in Warsaw between 1878 and 1879, and at the same time is a subtle story of three generations of Polish idealists, their psychological complications, their involvement in the history of the nineteenth century, social dramas, moral problems and the experience of tragic existence. At the same time this story describes the disintegration of social relationships and the growing separation of a society whose aristocratic elite spreads the models of vanity and idleness. In the bad air of a backward country, anti-Semitic ideas are born, valuable individuals meet obstacles on their way, and scoundrels are successful.
This poetic love story follows a nouveau riche merchant, Stanislaw Wokulski, through a series of trials and tribulations occasioned by his obsessive passion for an aristocratic beauty, Izabela Lecka, played by the famous Polish actress, Beata Tyszkiewicz.
Plot:
As a descendant of an impoverished Polish noble family, young Wokulski is forced to work as a waiter at Hopfer's, a Warsaw restaurant, while dreaming of a life in science. After taking part in the failed 1863 Uprising against Tsarist Russia, he is sentenced to exile in Siberia. On eventual return to Warsaw, he becomes a salesman at Mincel's haberdashery. Marrying the late owner's widow (who eventually dies), he comes into money and uses it to set up a partnership with a Russian merchant he had met while in exile. The two merchants go to Bulgaria during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, and Wokulski makes a fortune supplying the Russian Army. The enterprising Wokulski now proves a romantic at heart, falling in love with Izabela, daughter of the vacuous, bankrupt aristocrat, Tomasz Łęcki. In his quest to win Izabela, Wokulski begins frequenting theatres and aristocratic salons; and to help her financially distressed father, founds a company and sets the aristocrats up as shareholders in his business.The indolence of these aristocrats, who secure with their pensions, are too lazy to undertake new business risks, frustrates Wokulski. His ability to make money is respected but his lack of family and social rank is condescended to. Because of his "help" (in secret) to Izabela's impecunious but influential father, the girl becomes aware of his affection. In the end she consents to accept him, but without true devotion or love.(wikipedia)

1960 Polish film

Witold Leszczynski用这部黑白影片开启了80年代波兰魔幻写实主义电影的大门。
"Form is much more important than content," the director often said. Indeed each story wrote by Leszczynski was directed with incomparable care. The title that put the director's name on the map of Polish film history was Matthew's Days (1967), an intimate tale adapted from the prose by Norwegian writer Tarjei Vesaas. The feature received several awards, notably the Grand Prix at the Cannes International Youth Film Festival, Grand Prix at Valladolid and Best Film at Colombo.
Born in 1933, Leszczynski graduated from the Lódz Film School. After Matthew's Days he wrote and directed Personal Search (1972) and Recollections (1977). In 1981, he directed Konopielka, a film based on the book by Edward Redlinski, with an unforgettable role for Krzysztof Majchrzak. The film picked up awards at the 1984 Gdynia Polish Film Festival.
Two years later Leszczynski was awarded the Grand Prix at Gdynia for his new piece, Siekierezada, which also won the FIPRESCI and INTERFILM prizes at the 1987 Berlinale. In 1993, Leszczynski directed Kolos followed a year later by Requiem, a film similar in style to Matthew's Days.
