Afterimage

The great Polish director Andrzej Wajda returns with this passionate biopic about avant-garde artist Wladyslaw Strzeminski (brilliantly played by Polish superstar Boguslaw Linda), who battled Stalinist orthodoxy and his own physical impairments to advance his progressive ideas about art.

"Built on a classical narrative structure, Afterimage really puts the emphasis on its remarkable lead actor, Boguslaw Linda, a legendary performer in Poland, who has, in the past, starred in films by the country's greatest directors." – Dorota Hartwich, Cineuropa

"Andrzej Wajda's film is a lean, unwavering look at the effects of artistic idealism in the face of fascist doctrine." -- Clayton Dillard, Slant Magazine
