About
Ashes and Diamonds
Visually arresting throughout. According to Wajda, Zbigniew Cybulski was channeling James Dean and the film's DP was channeling *Citizen Kane*. (And, could it be possible that De Palma lifted the idea for the penultimate killing in *Blow Out* from this film's fireworks scene? Probably not, but the one couldn't help but make me think of the other...) What's the next best Wajda to watch?
