She has been successful in the film industry for decades and her works are always in step with her time. On Wednesday, November 28th, on the occasion of her 70th birthday, Oscar-nominated Polish director Agnieszka Holland celebrated twice: a centenary and a premiere.
The Iron Curtain has never fallen and Poland is a police state where a student and a police officer are engaged in a political plot: this scenario traces the most famous director of Poland in his last work as a director. scene. The thriller series "1983" is the first production in Poland for the Netflix streaming service. It is presented just two days after the birthday of the celebrity. Holland has a proven track record for producing high-quality series, and has directed several episodes of House of Cards.
In the new series, she raises the issue of freedom from security, as Holland reveals to the Polish media. "This is a dilemma that almost all countries are facing today," the director said in the face of rising right-wing populist tendencies that fuel public fears following the terrorist attacks. Cinema is politics, she told the German news agency in a previous conversation. With his works, Holland wants to broaden the public's imagination and draw attention to things that were previously hidden.
Thus, the Oscar-nominated student of the late Polish film director Andrzej Wajda died in 2016: the latest Dutch film "The Spur" was awarded at the Berlinale 2017 for opening new perspectives. In the feminist environmental thriller with black moods, she takes into account gender relations.
Only by her art of speaking, the native of Warsaw is not enough. "If something bad happens and you think you can fix it, you should get involved," Holland said in an interview. In criticizing Poland's controversial PiS government, she does not mince words. National conservatives are accused of controlling the media and justice. "Democracy, it's like the air, they're taking it off now and we're starting to smother the smog soon," Holland warned at an anti-government protest.
The political struggle is to some extent in the blood: Holland's mother was active during the Second World War in the Polish clandestine movement, fought in 1944 during the Warsaw uprising against the German occupation. For years, Holland has been engaged in the fight against nationalism and anti-Semitism in life and on the web and is not afraid of taboos. On several occasions did the director, whose paternal grandparents were murdered as Polish Jews at Auschwitz, War and Holocaust – such as "Hitler boy Solomon" and "The Tunnel", both of whom won an Oscar nomination .
Holland, who studied at the Prague Film School, collaborated from the beginning of his career with the great Polish filmmakers – with Krzysztof Zanussi and Wajda, for whom she wrote the screenplays of "Danton" and "A Love in Germany" . As a screenwriter, she also worked for Krzysztof Kieslowski's film "Drei Farben – Blau". Also in American TV series such as "The Wire" and "Cold Case" Holland, who lives in Poland and France, has directed.
For Netflix production from his home country, Holland only brought Polish filmmakers together. His daughter Katarzyna Adamik was also partying. Holland also supports the power of women in politics. Polish women have long placed their work and achievements in the shadow of men, she said at a panel discussion on television. She launched a call: "I hope a woman awake."
They have a different perspective and different priorities, said Holland. Women place projects and the common good at the forefront as a newborn, rather than proving themselves narcissistically. "If anything can put the world back on track in the future, it will be women," she said. "Women will change the world." Holland is convinced of that.
