The Wedding

Stanisław Wyspiański and Andrzej Wajda. A meeting of artistic sizes of this format must have given an unusual effect: the most original theatre play has been re-coined into one of the most original film works, not only of the Polish cinematography. The wedding procession starts at the St Mary’s Church in Krakow. Passing by the surrounding villages, it reaches the house of the Host. The wedding of an intellectual with a common girl begins. Unexpectedly, an aura of incredibility sneaks in.
