Movie Reviews of Czlowiek Z Zelaza (Man of Iron)
Movie Review: Film about the 1980s steelworkers strike in Poland
Summary: 5 Stars
"Czlowiek Z Zelaza" ("Man of Iron") is the sequel to "Man of Marble." "Man of Marble" consisted of an unraveling story that unfolded by a series of flashbacks told by various characters, and this film follows a similar format. Although the unfolding of the story was probably not as complex, the film has important historical significance.
As "Man of Marble" recounted events of the 1950s to 1970s, "Man of Iron" covers the time of the 1970s to 1980s. Essentially, "Man of Iron" is the story of how the government attempts to suppress the steelworkers strike. Although the characters of the film are fictitious, it is based on historical events. This is an important film for understanding the Police State that existed in the early 1980s in Poland.
"Man of Iron" answers the questions left unanswered in "Man of Marble." The same leading actors (Krystyna Janda and Jerzy Radziwilowicz) also star in this film. Boguslaw Linda, who later comes to star in numerous Polish films, also plays a part in "Man of Iron."
"Man of Iron" (1981) is about 147 minutes in length and is directed by Andrzej Wajda. Wajda is known outside of Poland as being one of its best directors. If you saw "Man of Marble," this film is definitely worth watching, as it will provide one with the rest of the story.
