MAN OF IRON by Andrzej Wajda

17 lutego, 2012

Tue, Feb 28, 6pm - The Film Society of Lincoln Center will present Andrzej Wajda\'s Man of Iron as part of the 50 Years of the New York Film Festival series (Feb 7-Oct 1).

Andrzej Wajda made his fourth NYFF appearance with this epic chronicle of the birth of the Solidarity movement, which won the Palme d\'Or at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. The program note from the NYFF19 said: Andrzej Wajda\'s Man of Iron is more than a great film, it is an Event.
 
In a demanding dual role, Jerzy Radziwiłowicz is Maciek Tomczyk, a union organizer modeled on Lech Walesa at the Gdansk shipyards, and, in flashback, Maciek\'s father Mateusz Birkut, the "model worker" hero of Wajda\'s 1977 Man of Marble. Winkiel (Marian Opania), a down-on-his-luck radio reporter, is sent to Gdansk to dig up dirt on Maciek. Trying to get into the shipyard that\'s become the epicenter of the movement, Winkiel bumps into Dzidek (Bogusław Linda), an old friend of Tomczyk\'s, who shows him never released footage of the August 1970 riots. Gradually the story of Tomczyk and his father emerges, along with a portrait of the growth of the Solidarity movement.
