Major battle scene shot for Polish independence film
The scene, the largest battle scene in the movie, is key to the Legions film which is due for release on 5 October, 2018, ahead of Poland’s centenary of independence on 11 November 2018. The historic film, directed by Dariusz Gajewski, shows the 1914-1916 plight of the Polish Legions, which were set up by Józef Piłsudski, who would later become Poland’s head of state. Piłsudski aimed to regain Poland’s independence in World War I, after more than 100 years of partitions, by fighting with the German and Austro-Hungarian empires in the war against Russia, before throwing support behind the UK, France and US to defeat Germany and Austro-Hungary. But the film’s co-producer Maciej Pawlicki said: “This is not a movie about Piłsudski… It is about young people, a generation, thanks to whom we have Poland, we do not speak Russian or German, and we have our own country and our own culture”. Piłsudski is portrayed in the film by Jan Frycz, with Borys Szyc, Sebastian Fabiański, Antoni Pawlicki and Bartosz Gelner in other main roles. Pawlicki said that the order to charge in 1915, which ended in pyrrhic victory, was a bad one, but that the offensive made history. The film’s budget of about PLN 28 million (EUR 6.5 million) is partly funded by Poland’s culture ministry. (vb) Source: PAP, IAR

2018 WAFCA Winners
2018 WAFCA Winners

As a film critic of medium-low importance, one of my most sacred duties is participating in the Washington Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) year-end awards extravaganza. During this hallowed time of year, I watch dozens of movies and mine my own recollection of the good, the bad, and the ugly to determine what, precisely, the best films of the year were. At the end of this grueling process—this death march through endless stacks of DVDs, searching for the rarest pearl in an ever-increasing sea of muck—we WAFCA members nominate up to five films/people in each category. The five films/people who earn the most votes in every category are then voted upon by the whole of the membership, the winners are chosen, the press release is sent out, and blessed, blessed relief descends upon us as we put the exercise to rest for 11 months.
