Master director Andrzej Wajda brings a troubled period of Poland’s history to the screen. Afterimage focuses on a period in the career of Wladyslaw Strseminski, Polish painter, art theorist and one of the pioneers of avant-garde constructivism in the 1920s. The artist rejects the oppressive rule of the Communist Party leadership after WWII and is condemned to poverty. The touching story of the artist’s courageous fight for artistic freedom is enhanced by accomplished lighting and art direction.
