Film Book of Poems: “Wojaczek” by Lech Majewski
Abstract
Michałowska writes that Lech Majewski’s film on poet Rafał Wojaczek is both the picture of an artist and a trip to the communist Poland of black and white boredom and provincialism. Majewski went to see the places and people linked to Wojaczek, and made use of the research in his artistic vision, albeit not in a documentary way. Michałowska says the film is composed as a series of sequences resembling the leaves of a book of poems. One of the film’s assets is that Majewski did not try to clear up the secret of the phenomenon of Wojaczek. This unresolved secret gives the film special emotional power and puts the problem in the universal perspective; it speaks of the unremovable loneliness of an artist.
