Episode 7: Ashes and Diamonds (1958‪)‬ GHOST KINO

    • Filmrecensioner

Serious unity on this episode amongst Catholic potato eating peoples. The gang cannonballs into the pool of divergent ideologies that is known as Ashes and Diamonds, a 1958 film by Polish director Andrzej Wajda that examines the immediate interwar period following the end of WWII. We chat about the film’s criticisms of hierarchy, how it can be viewed through an anarchist angle, and our mutual thirst for Zbigniew Cybulski (who was referred to as the “Polish James Dean” in his time). Also we’re not doing Sálo or The Phantom Menace next week as a head’s up bc we’re not emotionally equipped to tackle either film.
