0Sweet Rush / Tatarak
Andrzej Wajda, 2009, Poland, 84m
The currents of love and loss move swiftly through this bold and experimental new film by Polish master Andrzej Wajda, about the chance meeting between a doctor’s wife (Krystyna Janda), still reeling from the death of her two sons in World War II, and the handsome working-class youth who inspires in her a rush of motherly and romantic feelings. The source material is a novella by celebrated writer Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz, which Wajda had long envisioned as a vehicle for the incomparable Janda, the great star of his Man of Marble and Man of Iron. But when an earlier attempt to make the film was derailed by the death of Janda’s husband (and Wajda’s frequent cinematographer), Edward Klosinski, Wajda reconceived the project as an experimental movie about moviemaking, framed by Janda’s heartbreaking monologue about her spouse’s final days and the mysterious entanglement of life and art.
