		The owner, an attractive young woman named Marta (Lucyna Winnicka), claims to have purchased her ticket for the upper berth of the sleeper compartment from a travel agent and had not been advised of the restriction, nor did she check in with the conductor in order to validate her ticket.
		By modulating the innocuous and lighthearted tone of the holiday-bound train excursion to present a sinister manifestation of base human instincts and the darkness of the soul, Kawalerowicz further illustrates the often destructive myopia, persecution, and skewed perspective that results from a collective mentality.
		In the film's haunting and metaphoric denouement, a priest replaces a fallen graveyard cross that had been used as a weapon of violence: a solemn reminder of the human need for compassion and atonement in an environment of fear and vengeance.

		Kawalerowicz alienated himself from many of his colleagues in 1983, however, by signing a government report attacking the filmmakers connected to the Solidarity movement in Poland and sanctioning the closing of the film production units headed by Andrzej Wajda ("X") and Krzysztof Zanussi ("TOR").
		Thus, in Jerzy Kawalerowicz, Becker had a partner who had been active in Polish filmmaking throughout the postwar period, had vast experience in adapting novels to film, and had personal experience with the antifascist claims and the political compromises of the socialist milieu of
		Kawalerowicz was versatile and his subjects ranged from historical dramas to intense psychological studies.

		JERZY KAWALEROWICZ, THE PHARAOH OF THE POLISH CINEMA
		Jerzy Kawalerowicz was born in 1922, a year after Munk and four before Wajda.
		Kawalerowicz' s first film is almost a work of socialist propaganda, narrating the clashes between landowners and miller on the one side and the peasants of a small village in the Polish countryside on the other.

	Kinoeye \| Poland: Jerzy "Quo vadis" Kawalerowicz interviewed
		Kawalerowicz's reputation for creating popular films on an epic scale is currently being consolidated by the success of Quo vadis.
		Released in 1983, Austeria (The Inn) is one of the most cherished projects of filmmaker Jerzy Kawalerowicz, who based the film on his own memories of growing up in a Ukrainian town with a profoundly mixed population, a town that was obliterated by the ravages of the 20th century.

		Kawalerowicz's Faraon (Pharaoh) was nominated for an Academy Award in 1966.
		Kawalerowicz even recalls talks with representatives of America's MGM studios, but the introduction of martial law in December 1981 curtailed any further action.
		Kawalerowicz admitted that changes in the way the contemporary viewer perceives the world had forced him to make adjustments from the original version of his script, making some elements more up-to-date.

		The films of Kawalerowicz are uneven; it is as though the filmmaker, after momentary triumphs and outstanding artistic achievements, would lapse into a crisis that prepared him for yet another masterpiece.
		Kawalerowicz has always gone his own way, and it has not been an easy path, especially when we realize that he has never turned back, never given a particular theme further development.
		But once again Kawalerowicz was experimenting with new genres and forms, though outstanding literary works and actual political or historical events, shaped into provocative dramas, remain the foundation of his creative work.

		Jerzy Kawalerowicz has always gone his own way.
		Attracted by existential problems, Kawalerowicz has never been faithful to one genre; what some of his films do have in common is his preoccupation with the extent to which fanaticism, whether political or religious, can influence events.
		Kawalerowicz's masterpiece Mother Joan of the Angels (1961) transposes the celebrated episode involving the nuns of Loudun, France, to a remote convent on the barren eastern plains of 17th-century Poland, where a young priest has been sent to help exorcize a group of supposedly possessed Ursuline sisters.

		Now the venerable 81 year old Polish film director Jerzy Kawalerowicz will garner close scrutiny through a 10-film retrospective presented by The Film Society of Lincoln Center in collaboration with New York's Polish Cultural Institute and Film Polski from Jan 30 - Feb 12, 2004, at The Walter Reade Theater.
		In 1961, Mother Joan of the Angels, his intense and tortured study of demonic possession by a group of nuns (based on the same true story that was the basis of Aldous Huxley'sThe Devils of Loudun and Ken Russell's film, The Devils), won the special Jury Prize at Cannes.
		Kawalerowicz has used reference to periods of history in order to reveal topical perspectives on society or religion.

	pharaoh
		Jerzy Kawalerowicz directs an historical epic in the tradition of the Hollywood spectacle, but featuring stilted English dialogue and an uninspiring tale and an unsatisfying sense of splendor that is played stone cold without an ounce of humor.
		It made for a difficult watch, as the straight story was just not that interesting or worth three hours of telling--even though the Polish filmmaker probably succeeded in getting the details about ancient Egypt accurate.
		The romance story fizzles from lack of attention, as filmmaker Kawalerowicz chugs along with his dull political struggles, epic battle scenes and musical interludes of Egyptian tunes sung in Polish.

		The film is set at an important moment in the history of Poland when, immediately after the First World War, the new National Assembly elected Gabriel Narutowicz as president.
		The assassin, Eligiusz Niewiadomski appears throughout the film as the unifying element and his defence before the court is a manifesto of the fascist doctrine that was just then appearing in Europe.

	DVD Times - Mother Joan of the Angels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Less outré than the British director’s handling of the subject, Jerzy Kawalerowicz nevertheless turns in a work with its fair share of the fantastical.
		Primarily the film is a two-hander between Mother Joan and the priest as he attempts to dispossess her.
		Indeed, Kawalerowicz is adamant that he has also provided a love story between Mother Joan and the priest — an element which makes perfect sense through Winnicka’s performance.

		The retrospective this year was devoted to octogenarian Jerzy Kawalerowicz, the Cecil B De Mille of Polish cinema.

		Stuhr (who is something of a star in Italy) was present to introduce some of the most recent graduation work of the school.
