biography:
Andrzej Wajda (Suwałki, 6 de marzo de 1926-Varsovia, 9 de octubre de 2016) fue un director de cine polaco, considerado como uno de los más relevantes de la Escuela Polaca de Cine. En los premios Óscar del 2000, Wajda fue galardonado con un Óscar Honorífico por sus numerosas contribuciones al mundo del cine.

Figura mayor del cine mundial y de Europa del Este tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la reputación de Wajda se basa en su carácter de cronista sensible y comprometido de la evolución política y social de su país. Considerado en su momento el símbolo de un país ocupado, Wajda es conocido por su capacidad para dibujar la historia de Polonia con sensibilidad trágica, realizando una obra artesanal que conmueve al tiempo que informa.

Hijo de un oficial de caballería polaco, que fue asesinado a comienzos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en la Masacre de Katyn, Wajda combatió en el ejército polaco contra los nazis cuando todavía era un adolescente. Tras la guerra, estudió pintura en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Cracovia antes de entrar en la Escuela Nacional de Cine en Łódź.

Siguiendo la estela de su admirado Aleksander Ford, Wajda tuvo la oportunidad de dirigir su propia película. Con A Generation (1955), el director primerizo expresó su desilusión sobre el jingoísmo, usando como su alter ego a un joven héroe al estilo de James Dean interpretado por Zbigniew Cybulski. Sus dos siguientes películas, más elaboradas, desarrollaron el tema antibélico de A Generation: Kanal (1956) y Cenizas y diamantes (1958), interpretadas por el mismo actor que la primera. Desde entonces, Wajda se fue interesando cada vez más por obras de contenido alegórico y simbólico, y ciertos símbolos (tales como el fuego encendido en copas de licor, representando la llama del idealismo juvenil que fue extinguido por la guerra) son recurrentes en sus películas.

En 1967, Cybulski murió en un accidente de tren, y sobre ese hecho el director articuló su pena con la que es considerada su película más personal, Everything for Sale (1969). La devoción de Wajda por el movimiento polaco del sindicato Solidaridad se manifestó en El hombre de mármol (1976) y El hombre de hierro (1981), con el líder de Solidaridad Lech Wałęsa haciendo de sí mismo en la segunda. La implicación del director en este movimiento llevó al gobierno polaco a ilegalizar la productora de Wajda.

A comienzos de los noventa, fue elegido senador y director artístico del Teatro Powszchny de Varsovia. Continuó dirigiendo películas centradas en el tema de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, como en The Crowned-Eagle Ring de 1993 y en Holy Week de 1996. En 1997, Wajda tomó una nueva dirección con Miss Nobody, un drama que exploraba los aspectos más oscuros y más espirituales de la relación entre tres adolescentes. Tres años después, en los premios Óscar del 2000, Wajda fue galardonado con un Óscar Honorífico por sus numerosas contribuciones al mundo del cine; Wajda donó el premio a la Universidad Jaguelónica de Cracovia. En febrero de 2006, Wajda recibió un Oso de Oro honorífico por toda su carrera en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Berlín.

Murió el 9 de octubre de 2016 a causa de una insuficiencia respiratoria.

biography:
波兰电影导演，生于苏瓦乌基。1955年开始导演故事片，曾任波兰电影协会主席，是“波兰电影学派”的创始人之一。在苏联、瑞士、美国、南斯拉夫、法国以及英国等国家导演过话剧和电影。波兰影评界评论他的作品是浪漫主义和自然主义的混和结晶，但有时又带有超现实主义和唯美主义的色彩。

　　《一代人》与《下水道》、《灰烬与钻石》被称为瓦依达的“战争三部曲”，都是描述二战时的故事。在《一代人》中，瓦依达打破了电影创作上的禁忌，影片虽然描写的也是共产主义抵抗战士的形象，但他们不再是那种贴标语喊口号式的英雄，而是有着冒险冲动、个人理想和恐惧感的年轻人。为此，瓦依达饱受当时那些文艺理论家们的指责，他们认为瓦依达的所谓“新现实主义”是反社会主义的，是被中产阶级的虚无主义所玷污的；而另一部分批评家则认为《一代人》并没有在打破斯大林主义模式的过程中走得太远，因为影片拒绝挑战正统政治观念，作为共产主义者的主人公不仅与德国鬼子战斗，也与波兰国内右派军队斗争，这与历史不符。

　　瓦依达的一些作品，如：《大理石人》和《铁人》被人认为是反社会主义的。《大理石人》拍于1976年，电影讲述了50年代初期劳动英雄比尔库特遭受迫害的故事，本片曾在戛纳国际电影节上获得国际影评奖。1981年拍摄的续集《铁人》承接上集，讲述记者在收集大理石人儿子黑材料的时候，竟意外的发现了大理石人是如何被谋杀灭迹的材料，于是记者将此公诸于世，本片获得戛纳国际电影节金棕榈奖。这两部片子都受到了多方阻挠，后来才得以公映。西方评论界认为其作品应归为“新浪潮”，认为它们是“波兰电影学派”创作路线的发展，继承了波兰的传统浪漫主义。瓦依达善于创新，敢于解决尖锐问题。虽然对他的评论并不一致，但他蜚声国际，其作品很受重视，受到多方研究。

　　2007年，宝刀不老的瓦依达推出《卡廷惨案》，本片是第一部对波兰史上最具争议的“卡廷惨案”做出正面叙事的波兰电影。在波兰甚至世界范围内都引起了强烈反响。年过八旬的瓦依达依然坚持着自己半个世纪来的创作理念。2009年，他又凭新作《甜蜜的冲动》赢得第59届柏林电影节的阿尔弗莱德奖。

biography:
Andrzej Wajda est un réalisateur et scénariste polonais, né le 6 mars 1926 à Suwałki et mort le 9 octobre 2016 à Varsovie.

Il est considéré comme l'un des plus grands réalisateurs de son pays.

Andrzej Witold Wajda naît d'une mère institutrice et d'un père officier Jakub Wajda, capitaine d'un régiment d'infanterie de l'armée polonaise. Son père sera l'un des 22 000 officiers polonais assassinés en 1940 lors du massacre de Katyń, commis par les Soviétiques et maquillé en crime de guerre allemand après la seconde guerre mondiale. Le jeune Andrzej s'engage deux ans plus tard, à 16 ans, dans la résistance au sein de l'armée de l'intérieur polonaise, l'Armia Krajowa.

À la fin de la guerre, il étudie à l'Académie des beaux-arts de Cracovie, puis à l'École nationale de cinéma de Łódź.

En 1955, Wajda réalise son premier long-métrage Pokolenie (Une fille a parlé) où il rompt déjà avec le ton partisan des productions du réalisme socialiste prôné à l'époque par le parti communiste. Ce récit sur les jeunes de Varsovie pendant l'occupation est considéré comme le point de départ de la grande vague de films de «l'École polonaise de cinéma». Deux films suivants de Wajda poursuivent le même sujet en mettant en avant la destinée de ceux que l'on appellera "génération des Colombs": Kanał (Ils aimaient la vie) qui reçoit le Prix spécial du Jury au Festival de Cannes en 1957 et Popiół i Diament (Cendres et Diamant ) sorti en 1958. Ses succès lui donnent une position forte dans le cinéma polonais et en 1972, Wajda devient le président l'Union des cinéastes polonais.

Avec des films tels que Le Bois de bouleaux (Brzezina, 1970), Les Noces (Wesele, 1973), La Terre de la grande promesse (Ziemia obiecana, 1974), Les Demoiselles de Wilko (Panny z Wilka, 1979), Wajda s'impose comme un adaptateur des chefs-d’œuvre de la littérature polonaise. Il est aussi metteur en scène de théâtre.

Proche des idées libérales de Solidarność, il se lie d'amitié avec Lech Wałęsa qui le nommera plus tard au comité des citoyens auprès du syndicat en 1988. Il siégera ensuite au premier sénat élu librement en 1989.

Wajda a souvent été ennuyé par la censure pour sa critique du stalinisme et pour l'évocation d'une Pologne en crise, aspirant à la liberté et à la démocratie; sujets qu'il traite notamment dans son diptyque, Człowiek z marmuru (L'Homme de marbre, 1977) et Człowiek z żelaza (L'Homme de fer, 1981) inspiré par la naissance de Solidarność et couronné par la Palme d'or à Cannes en 1981.

Ses prises de position contre l'état de siège en Pologne l'incitent à tourner à l'étranger. Il tourne alors Danton (1983) avec Gérard Depardieu, Un amour en Allemagne (1986) avec Hanna Schygulla, ou Les Possédés (1988) dans lequel il dirige Isabelle Huppert et Lambert Wilson. Après la chute du communisme en 1989, il revient aux sujets historiques polonais avec notamment Korczak (1990), L'Anneau de crin (1993) ou La Semaine sainte (1995). Il adapte aussi de grandes œuvres de la littérature polonaise comme Pan Tadeusz (1999) et La Vengeance (Zemsta, 2002).

En 2007, il réalise Katyń où il revient sur le massacre qui a coûté la vie à son père.

En 2013, il signe L'Homme du peuple, une biographie filmée de Lech Wałęsa. ...

Then home to Turin. An aged Mario Rigoni Stern remembers his friend. What has changed? Some issues of the war remain unsettled.
