Wajda’s Final Film Gets Release
J. Hoberman writes: ‘Few filmmakers meant as much to his country as Andrzej Wajda did to Poland. Both a world-famous director and a national conscience, Wajda—who died last October at age ninety—was a singular artist. It is appropriate then that his final film, hauntingly titled Afterimage and opening in New York and Los Angeles this weekend, would be a drama concerning the last years of another Polish artist, the abstract painter WÅ‚adysÅ‚aw StrzemiÅ„ski (1893–1952).’
