Polish Film Festival : Ashes and Diamonds at the Oak Park Arms

Oak Park Arms, Community Contributor

A Polish Film Festival series kicks off with the film “Ashes and Diamonds” at 4 p.m. Friday, March 21, at the Oak Park Arms, 408 S. Oak Park Ave. The film will be viewed and reviewed with radio announcer Dan Kane.

This 1958 Polish film, directed by Andrzej Wajda, and based on a 1948 novel by Polish writer Jerzy Andrzejewski, completed Wajda’s war films trilogy. The plot skillfully blends the fate of a nation with that of one man, resulting in what many consider to be one of the most important Polish films of all time.
