 | | Beloved Polish director Andrzej Wajda was at his career peak right at the beginning of it, in the 1950s, when the scars of WWII were still fresh, particularly in Poland. |
 | | Wajda may very well have produced his finest film ever in 1957 with Kanal (literally "Canal"), about the dying days of the two-month long Polish resistance against the Germans in late 1944 (though the setting is real, the story itself appears completely fictional). |
 | | Kanal is included on Criterion's new box set of Wajda's war trilogy, including the skippable A Generation and the highly-regarded Ashes and Diamonds. |
