Reviews:

There are so many great things about how this movie is made – the directing, the shots, the tonal quality, and the pacing. Probably most brilliant of all is how the total makes the viewer feel claustophobic. I admit, though, it’s a tad dated.

Diamonds and Ashes.
In late 2017 I got the film on from a local CEX after seeing it sell for a good amount on eBay,and after listing the DVD put it with other stock. Many months later,someone purchased it,but due to how long it had been I could not find it in the stock (I ended up ordering/sending a brand new copy for the buyer!) Since having found the disc after all that a while late,and with ICM’s Eastern European viewing challenge taking place, I looked at the diamonds.

View on the film:

Shining when the French New Wave was gathering pace, while also being taken by the elegance of US cinema such as Citizen Kane (1941), co-writer/(with Jerzy Andrzejewski) directing auteur Andrzej Wajda & cinematographer Jerzy Wojcik create an immaculate fusion of the two, in Wajda and Wojcik using sets for truly immense wide-shots filling the screen from the floor to the ceiling, which are threaded with fluid, outdoor tracking shots gliding round the crumbling side-streets with Chelmicki. Taking place in the raw post-WWII aftermath,Wajda contrasts the dialogue via putting the title through a modern filter of dazzling, ultra-stylised low shadows and burning bright white lights, with a New Wave “in the moment” atmosphere from stark close-ups crossed with depth of field corner shots hitting Chelmicki’s conflicting mind-set.

Altering the adaptation from Jerzy Andrzejewski’s more blunt view in the novel, the screenplay by Wajda and Andrzejewski have the fear of holding alliances linger in an air of hushed dialogue about “The Uprising”, and anxiety over which new combating force (the Soviets and the anti-Communist underground forces) can get a footing over what direction the country takes. Offering little light in the title, the writers bring a sweetness to the bubbling romance between Krystyna and Chelmicki,with the care-free nature they share being finely balanced by the tightening of screws over the assassination orders weighing hard on Chelmicki’s loyalties.

Standing out in the middle of a grubby bar, Ewa Krzyzewska gives a mesmerising, expressive turn as Krystyna,whose flirting and compassion tugs at Chelmicki. Looking incredibly cool in every frame, Zbigniew Cybulski gives an astonishing performance as Chelmicki,due to the “natural” acting method of Cybulski bringing an intimate fragility over Chelmicki having to decide to choose either ashes or diamonds.
