Based on the life of avant-garde painter and theorist Władysław Strzemiński, the film chronicles his struggles against expulsion from state institutions, and erasure from a nation’s collective memory, as a result of political and artistic convictions that were at odds with the official Stalinist post-war doctrine.
Afterimage
In his final film, Andrzej Wajda returns to previously explored themes of personal and artistic resistance to an authoritarian state and ideology.
