Commentaire en vedette
It remains one of the most powerful films who I saw after the fall of Ceausescu regime. Because the name of priest Jeryz Popieluszko was far to be unknown in Romania of 80 s.
The film has the gift to remind a martyrium and its genesis.
It has, in same measure, the sins of Chistopher Lambert in a role deserving more acting than good physical look and the fist of cliches , maybe for seduce a larger audience.
But its essential virtue is the status of cry in the last years of Comunist regimes in Central and East Europe. And, not the last, the inspired work of Ed Harris. One of films bz Agniesyka Holland . This last definition remains useful .
