Night Train
(Poci?g)
A film by Jerzy Kawalerowicz
Poland, 1959

"Kawalerowicz's masterwork...
visually magnificent"
Bright Lights Film Journal

Tropical Malady

Kawalerowicz’s celebrated film is considered one of the finest achievements of Polish cinema. Employing a classic Hitchcockian premise - two people, one possibly a killer on the run, sharing a compartment on a crowded overnight train - Kawalerowicz turns a thriller into an intriguing character study of ordinary people in unusual circumstances.

Featuring impressive performances from Lucyna Winnicka (Mother Joan of the Angels), Zbigniew Cybulski (the ‘Polish James Dean’) and Leon Niemczyk (Knife in the Water), Night Train is more than simply a thriller... taut and gripping but also suffused with humour and warmth and boasting a wonderful jazz score by renowned composer Andrzej Trzaskowski.

Release Date: May 27th 2013


The Confrontation
(F?nyes szelek)
A film by Mikl?s Jancs?
Hungary, 1968

"Those who have never seen a film by Mikl?s Jancs? from the 1960s, when this Hungarian director was at his peak, are usually astonished by the experience"
Derek Malcolm, The Guardian

Tropical Malady

Jancs?’s first film in colour is a virtuoso display by one of cinema’s greatest artists. It eloquently explores the complex issues and inherent problems of revolutionary democracy and asks the question: what happens after the revolution is won?

Paralleling the dramatic student protests and riots that were exploding across the world in the 1960s when the film was made, The Confrontation is a story of rebellion in Hungary 1947 after the Communist Party had just taken power. Told in an operatic but supremely naturalistic style with songs of revolution used to punctuate the narrative and shot in long fluid takes, The Confrontation combines a radical aesthetic with radical politics to become a film as revolutionary in form as it is in subject.

Polish Cinema Classics Volume II
Andrzej Wajda / Krysztof Zanussi /
Wojciech Marczewski

Poland, 1972 / 1974 / 1990

"Champions some of the best (if not necessarily the best-known) films by three of Poland's greatest filmmakers, presented in gleaming new restorations"
Michael Brooke, MovieMail

Tropical Malady

Second Run DVD presents a second volume in its Polish Cinema Classics series. Gathering together films from three of Poland's acknowledged master filmmakers, this special edition 3-DVD box set contains these celebrated films fully restored in new director-approved HD masters and released for the first time ever in the UK:

The Promised Land (Ziemia obiecana / Andrzej Wajda, 1974)
Nominated for the Best Foreign Film Oscar? and presented here in its original uncut cinema version, Wajda's lavish epic is a Dickensian tale of greed, human cruelty and betrayal.

Illumination (Iluminacja / Krzysztof Zanussi, 1972)
Zanussi's landmark film is an insightful fusion of science and art - a cinematic mosaic of precision, intellect and emotion which became a defining event for a whole generation.

Escape from the 'Liberty' Cinema
(Ucieczka z kina 'Wolno??' / Wojciech Marczewski , 1990)

Marczewski's anti-totalitarian satire is a darkly comic examination of the nature and effects of censorship, and is a key film of the seismic political change of 1989.

Release Date: March 25th 2013


Casa de Lava
A film by Pedro Costa
Portugal, 1994

"Pedro Costa constructs a politically savvy homage to Jacques Tourneur... and creates moody, luminous tableaux to conjure an incantatory, Faulknerian earthiness"
The New Yorker

Tropical Malady

A remarkable, award-winning work of luminous beauty and power, Casa de Lava confirms the reputation of one of the most singular and important filmmakers working in cinema today. 

The DVD features the film presented from a new HD restoration, supervised by the director especially for this release, also features a new and exclusive interview with Pedro Costa shot at London’s Tate Modern, Pedro Costa’s Casa de Lava scrapbook, an interview with the films’ renowned cinematographer Emmanuel Machuel and a new booklet essay by author and critic Jonathan Rosenbaum.
