Marie Curie (2016)
Maria Skłodowska-Curie: Interesting, worth seeing for people interested in her.
I found the film interesting. I generally knew about Maria Skłodowska-Curie (she was a Pole, born and raised in Warsaw). I knew nothing about her personal life in Paris, which is the focus of this film.
The film looks more at her personal life and the large challenges she faced being a woman (and mother of two) in a Man's World. Worth seeing.
Katyn (2007)
Excellent, brutal, touching -- the tragedy of a generation.
Wajda, whose father was one of the tens of thousands of victims of this mega war crime, has created a powerful film that should be viewed both within Poland and abroad.
To understand modern Poland, it is necessary to understand what happened to much of the country's pre-WWII intellectual makeup. Wajda constructs a film that lets film audiences comprehend if not the scale of the crime, at least its devastating effects on victims and their families.
The film is well edited. It takes a complex story and tells it in the amount of time that audiences can both sit and take in the details as well as tolerate the brutality of the event itself.
