CHINESE
THE HOLY WEEK
(Poland, 1995 94 min.)
The horror of the Nazi years
have been done to death and often inadvertently turned
into soap opera by filmmakers. For director Andrzej
Wajda, though, those years are no abstract symbol, they're
a flesh and blood memory, and he makes them come alive
here with the authority of firsthand observation. Restricting
his story to the confluent days of Passover and Easter
week, he marries the chaotic, scarifying narrative
of a Jewish fugitive and the family of Catholics who
shelter her to the dramas both parties hold sacred.
