Prominent Polish director Antoni Krauze dies aged 78
Krauze wrote or directed about 50 films in his lifetime. His last film, a 2016 production entitled Smoleńsk, followed a fictional Polish journalist as she investigated the real-life 2010 Polish plane crash in Smolensk, Russia, which killed then-President Lech Kaczyński, his wife and 94 others, mainly military and political top brass. His other films include Czarny Czwartek, or “Black Thursday” (2011), which recounts the bloody anti-communist workers’ protests in northern Poland in 1970, Prognoza Pogody, or “Weather Forecast” (1982), the fictional tale of elderly pensioners who decide to escaping a care home en masse after hearing reports that a severe winter was coming and witnessing a delivery of coffins, and Meta, or “Finish Line” (1971), the story of two childhood friends who after years apart and end up living together. The last film was slow to gain audiences in Poland due to communist-era censorship. Krauze was a graduate of the famous Film School in Łodź. He began his career as an assistant to Krzysztof Zanussi. In his late twenties, he started to make documentaries. In 1972 he made his feature film debut. In the 1990s he returned to documentaries, specialising in biographies of writers and artists such as the Nobel Prize-winning poet Wisława Szymborska and film director Stanisław Różewicz. Krauze has received many awards and distinctions, including a special prize for Finish Line at the Gdynia Film Festival in 1981 and the Commander’s Cross of the Order of Reborn Poland in recognition of his outstanding artistic achievements.

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.
