World of War (Warsaw 44, 2014)

Polish film directors still struggle with history of their motherland. The terror of World War II (In Darkness by Agnieszka Holland), Holocaust (The Pianist by Roman Polański), Soviet dictatorship (Rose by Wojciech Smarzowski, Ida by Paweł Pawlikowski) or Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia (Aftermath by Władysław Pasikowski and recent Hatred by Wojciech Smarzowski) are being narrated in the Polish cinema nearly every year. Now a new generation tries to tell about those events from their perspective; from non-participant point of view which is sometimes shocking, fetching or disturbing. Jan Komasa with his Warsaw 44 is one of the best representatives.
