Angelus
August 19 at 4:30 p.m.
Majewski’s adaptation of an old Silesian folktale about a young male virgin who must be sacrificed to save the world is retold in images inspired by naïve Silesian paintings—their primitive parables suggesting the harsh realities of the Stalinist period and World War II. “There’s a purified aura of beauty in Angelus that creates a stunning sense of the imagination overcoming all obstacles.”—Robert Koehler. (2000, 35mm, Polish with subtitles, 103 mins.)
