COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A Classic submitted by AGAPHD on June 21, 2020, 12:21pm From the legendary director Andrzej Wajda, this film is a complex and powerful reflection on the complexities of post-war Poland. The central performance by Zbigniew Cybulski is also iconic.

Have you even SEEN the damn movie? submitted by Tassos on December 4, 2022, 5:45pm If you actually SAW this movie, you would be able to make SPECIFIC comments that show you have SEEN (and hopefully UNDERSTOOD) its message. the way you copied and pasted some standard BS, there is no proof of either.
