INNOCENT SORCERERS

NIEWINNI CZARODZIEJE

ANDRZEJ WAJDA

POLAND / POLISH / 1960 / 87 mins

A bachelor doctor, who is also a jazz musician, can’t quite commit himself to his superficial girlfriend. Him and his aimless friends find any kind of human contact or emotional commitment as a trouble and uninviting prospect.

ಜ್ಯಾಝ್ ಸಂಗೀತಗಾರನೂ ಆದ ಇನ್ನೂ ಮದುವೆಯಾಗಿರದ ವೈದ್ಯನೊಬ್ಬ , ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಹೆಸರಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಲಿಕ್ಕಷ್ಟೇ ಇರುವ ಗೆಳತಿಯ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಬದ್ಧನಾಗಿರಲೂ ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಅವನೂ ಅವನ ಗುರಿಯಿಲ್ಲದ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರೂ, ಯಾವುದೇ ಮಾನವ ಸಂಪರ್ಕವನ್ನಾಗಲಿ ಅಥವಾ ಭಾವನಾತ್ಮಕ ಬದ್ಧತೆಯನ್ನಾಗಲಿ ಕಾಡುವ ಮತ್ತು ಕೊನೆಗೆ “ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗದ” ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಯಂತೆ ಕಾಣುತ್ತಾರೆ.

Andrzej Wajda (1926–2016) was a towering Polish filmmaker and a key figure of the Polish Film School who shaped postwar European cinema. Born in Suwałki, he joined the anti-Nazi resistance as a teenager, experiences that deeply informed his work. He studied painting in Kraków and film directing in Łódź. Wajda gained international recognition with his wartime trilogy A Generation (1954), Canal (1957), and Ashes and Diamonds (1959). His prolific career blended history, political critique, and humanism in films such as The Birch Wood (1971), The Promised Land (1975), Man of Marble (1977), Man of Iron (1981), and Danton (1982).
