Interrogation (Przesłuchanie) Blu-ray Special Edition “Sombre and harrowing, enlivened by a few flashes of sour wit, it is a highly intelligent account” Hilary Mantel, The Spectator |
 |
Based on true events, and with a mesmersing performance by the great Krystyna Janda, Ryszard Bugajski’s harrowing film was banned under martial law in Poland, but thrived on underground VHS after a copy was smuggled out by the director at immense personal risk. Finally released after the Fall of Communism, the film remains a powerful indictment of totalitarianism. Second Run present the world Blu-ray premiere of Bugakski's masterwork. Our disc includes an in-depth interview with the late director about the film, plus a 40-page booklet with the complete transcript of the 1982 hearing before the so-called ‘Co-laudation’ commission which led to Interrogation’s total suppression. Release Date: September 2023 |
