PROVINCIAL ACTORS

Directed by Agnieszka Holland

1979 / 121min

Set in a small town near Warsaw, to which a young up-and-coming director comes to produce a classic play (Wyspianski "Wyzwolenie") in a modern vein. Everyone in the production gets his usual stereotypical role, but the aging idol of the ensemble senses the opportunity to give the performance of his life. Q&A with Pete Ohs following screening.
