The Third Part of the Night 15

Part of Devils and Shamans: The Films of Andrzej Żuławski
Andrzej Żuławski, Poland, 1971, 107m.

The screening on the 12th of October will feature an introduction by writer Michael Brooke.


The first feature by Andrzej Żuławski immediately established his emotionally charged, fast-and-furious style. Drawing from the biography of his father, particularly his experiences in Nazi German-occupied Poland, the film follows a fugitive whose reality implodes when he witnesses the murders of his family, propelling him into a nightmarish world filled with doppelgängers, fluid identities, pervasive dread, and an enigmatic Nazi vaccine laboratory. In all its fantastic and macabre glory, The Third Part of the Night is a delirious portrayal of the chaos wrought upon the psyche by the horrors of war, and one of the most remarkable directorial debuts of all time.

Cast:
Małgorzata Braunek, Leszek Teleszyński, Jan Nowicki
