About this event
One of Andrzej Wajda’s landmark films tells the story of a young filmmaker, Agnieszka, who is investigating the life of a 1950s bricklayer and workers’ hero. When she learns that the facts behind his story were suppressed, she has to decide whether to pursue the truth or not. MAN OF MARBLE is a thought-provoking examination of the moral responsibility of an individual and the power of art to challenge dominant ideology, censorship and oppressive authorities. It is a powerful milestone in Polish cinema. (Note courtesy of DI Factory.)
