EROICA (1958): Andrzej Munk's two-part anti-war poem is a darkly comic, intelligent and insightful satire on duty, courage and heroism. 

INNOCENT SORCERERS (Niewinni czarodzieje / 1960): Following after his renowned War trilogy, Andrzej Wajda made this provocative film about contemporary youth from a script co-written by Jerzy Skolimowski. A vivid portrait of a new and restless post-war milieu, portrayed with compelling lead performances. 

NIGHT TRAIN (Pociąg / 1959): Jerzy Kawalerowicz's homage to Hitchcock. Two people - one of whom may be a vicious murderer - on the run and on a train bound for the Baltic coast. Taut and gripping with a wonderful jazz score. 

GOODBYE, SEE YOU TOMORROW (Do widzenia, do jutra / 1960): Janusz Morgenstern's touching story of young love. With outstanding performances from Polish superstar Zbigniew Cybulski (known as the ‘Polish James Dean’) and a young Roman Polański, and with music by the great Polish composer Krzysztof Komeda (Rosemary's Baby).
