November Night

A talky, theatrical staging where history and myth argue in the same room, asking patience and rewarding it with a chill.

Directed by

Andrzej Wajda

Genres

Tv movie, Drama, History

Starring

Jan Nowicki, Teresa Budzisz-Krzyżanowska, Jerzy Stuhr

Overview

Television play adaptation of Wajda's stage play of Stanisław Wyspiański's November Night. The drama takes place on two levels - historical and metaphorical. The first one is almost a chronicle of several hours of the uprising - it shows the drama of the attitudes of Poles at the beginning of the armed struggle, in confrontation with the attitude of Grand Duke Constantine, the Tsar's deputy in Poland. The second one presents the world of gods playing out their arguments. Man becomes a plaything in their hands, but it is he who experiences his fear, heroism and hope.
