Provincial Actors (1979)
Agnieszka Holland
Original Title: Aktorzy prowincjonalniCert: tbc / 1h50m / Cast: Halina Łabonarska, Tadeusz Huk.
After an apprenticeship as Andrzej Wajda’s assistant, Agnieszka Holland made her solo debut with this ambitious ensemble piece. The story of a trendy young theatre director attempting a politically controversial reinterpretation of a well-known Polish play provides both an allegorical study of cultural interference and a lacerating portrait of a withering marriage.
