Opplysninger
Polsk tittel: Czlowiek z zelaza. - Produksjonsår: 1981. - I rollene: Krystyna Janda, Marian Opania, Lech Walesa m.fl.. - Man of Iron depicts the Solidarity labour movement and its first success in persuading the Polish government to recognize the workers` right to an independent union. The film is a continuation of the story of Maciej Tomczyk, the protagonist of Wajdas` earlier film "Man of Marble". Here, Marciej is a young worker involved in the anti-Communist labour movement, described as "the man who started the Gdansk Shipyard strike", and a journalist working for the Communist regime`s radio station, who is given the task of slandering Maciej. The young man is clearly intended as a parallel to Lech Walesa (who appears as himself in the movie). Their narrations become flashbacks using actual news footage in 1968 and 1970 protests and of the later birth of free unions and solidarity. The film was made during the brief thaw in Communist cencorship that appeared between the formation of Solidarity in August 1980 and its supression in December 1981, and as such it is remarkably critical of the Communist regime. The film won the Palme d`or and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 1981. - Passer best fra 11 år, aldersgrense ikke oppgitt
