Younger viewers can experience it for the first time, while older ones might still remember it: 1966 saw the release of The Pharaoh, the most spectacular film to come from the Eastern European region. Although director Jerzy Kawalerowicz's choice of a "sword-and-sandal” film based on the novel by Bolesław Prus to follow up on his earlier art films (Night Train, Mother Joan of the Angels) may seem surprising, a close look at Polish culture will reveal a highly interesting picture of how lit...erary tradition is tangled up in the country's cinema with historical ideals, contemplations on the nature of power and the moral dilemmas of psychological drama.
