Here is a fun fin-de-siecle Poland fact: Witkacy and Ethel Barrymore of the Hollywood Barrymores had the same godmother and she was renowned Polish stage actress Helena Modrzejewska, known for her Shakespearean roles. This, to me, is Good Internationalism, even if it’s not the political flavor per se but rather Bohemian Upper-Class Socialites Being Six Degrees of Separation at All Times Regardless of Nationality. Six degrees of Kevin Bacon is out, Six degrees of Witkacy is in, baby. How about...The Dybbuk by S. An-sky. There are easier ways to get here but I like to have fun. Wajda and Bryll come up twice because they are ubiquitous:

1. Helena Modrzejewska was Witkacy’s godmother

2. Andrzej Wajda filmed Katyn on her estate in 2006

3. Maja Komorowska was in this film; she was also in Rzecz listopadowa by Ernest Bryll at Teatr Wspolczeszny (under Erwin Axer, who worked with Jelonka at PIST! That opens up another Pandora’s box of connections). Ernest Bryll wrote the Polish-language script for Andrzej Wajda’s (loop back above) adaptation of...

4. The Dybbuk by S. An-sky

Could have avoided Komorowska but she has the same name as Jan from Korzenie and they are an old-old szlachta family and it’s very interesting to me that her father is a count from an aristocratic family and her mother seems to be Jewish and she is intermittently cast in Jewish roles in the PRL, sometimes seeking them out deliberately. Ok

On second viewing: Jak daleko stąd, jak blisko (How Far Away from Here, How Near, dir. Tadeusz Konwicki, 1971)

The most fascinating film by writer-filmmaker Konwicki, who channels here, in a fragmented and non-chronological manner, stories from his childhood, converging into more abstract reflection on the contemporaneous and historical time of the Polish state. While Łapicki is a potent protagonist, navigating with malaise throughout the film's complicated temporalities, Holoubek and particularly Komorowska bring charisma into their limited on-screen time. Paired with Krzysztof Zanussi's Family Life, this film makes a strong case for avoiding the signature "saint martyr" role Komorowska was offered, mostly by Zanussi, during the following two decades or so.
