WOJCIECH HAS AND HIS “SURREAL-ORIENTAL DREAM”
Abstract
Wojciech Has (1925-2000) – polish film director – was one of creators venturing not to transcend reality and matter, rather to unveil their other invisible dimension by way of artistic shaping of an image. His film art seems to be the best evidence for overcoming the limitations of substance, i.e. for „image spiritualization” and “naming what escapes comprehension”. I label the fourteen feature films by Has from the years 1957-1988 as a piece of art. The following are meant here: The Noose (Petla) (1958), Farewells (Pozegnania) (1958), Roomers (Wspolny pokoj) (1960), Partings (Rozstanie) (1961), Gold Dreams (Z\loto) (1962), How to be loved (Jak byc kochana) (1963), The Saragossa Manuscript (Rekopis znaleziony w Saragossie) (1965), The Codes (Szyfry) (1966), The Doll (Lalke) (1968), Sandglass (Sanatorium pod Klepsydra) (1973), An Uneventful Story (Nieciekawa historie) (1983), Write and Fight (Pismak) (1985), The Memoirs of A Sinner (Osobisty pamietnik grzesznika... przez niego samego spisany) (1986) i The Tribulations of Baltazar Kober (Niezwyk\la podroz Baltazara Kobera) (1988). In my text I used semiology analisys and interpretation.
