Wajda's idea of a national identity goes hand in hand with his artistic sense to create an account of Poland's recent history filtered through a life in film.

Text: English, French, Polish (translation)
Famed Polish director Wajda is perhaps best known in the West for his films Ashes and Diamonds and Kanal , both of which deal with World War II. Despite the subtitle's implication, biographical elements are incidental. This is basically a textbook on directing, written from the perspective of Wajda's long experience and not insignificant insights. All aspects of filmmaking are considered, from the initial screenplay to music scoring. Wajda stresses the team approach and generously gives credit to many of his long-time coworkers. He also, rather circumspectly, discusses censorship in Poland. Stylistically, this work is somewhat flat, but perhaps something has been lost in the translation from the wittily titled French original, A Cinema Named Desire .
