Vita e travagghiu

Wajda eni lu figghiu di l'ufficiali di cavalliria pulacca uccisu 'nta lu massacru di Katyń di lu 1940.
Duoppu a verra, sturiau pi addivintari nu pitturi a l'Accademia d'Arti Fini di Krakóvia prima di trasiri nta a Scola Nazzinuali Firmica di Łódź.

Nta l'anni quaranta a statu membru di lu Partitu Pulaccu di li Lavuratori Unita a Krakóvia.[2] Mentri "arrubava lu mistieri" di riggista a Aleksander Ford, a Wajda ci fu data l'oppurtunitati d'addiriggiri lu propriu firmi.
Cu Na Ginirazzioni (1954), lu neu-riggista addichiarau a so disillusioni supra lu jingoismu, utilizzannu comu alter-ego nu giovani anti-iroi impirsunati di Zbigniew Cybulski.
Ci fuorru macari liggendi futuri ca travagghiarru nta stu firmi comu a Tadeusz Łomnicki, Tadeusz Janczar e Roman Polański.

Wajda cuntinuau a fari autri dui firmi ca asviupparru ancora cchiu sai lu tema contra a verra di A Generazzioni: Kanal (1956) (A Parma d'Argentu a lu Festival di Cannes nta lu 1957, ex aequo ccu Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal and Ashes and Diamonds (1958), also starring Cybulski. Wajda started working in the theatre at this time, where he directed several Polish several Polish works (Kapelusz pelen deszczu (Hatful of rain) and Dwoje na hustawce (Two on a seesaw)) and Hamlet.

While capable of turning out mainstream commercial fare (often dismissed as "trivial" by his critics), Wajda was more interested in works of allegory and symbolism, and certain symbols (such as setting fire to a glass of liquor, representing the flame of youthful idealism that was extinguished by the war) recur often in his films.Template:Fact But he explored other fields of human activity making for example a French new wave style film Innocent Sorcerers, with jazz music by Krzysztof Komeda, starring Roman Polański in one of the episodes. After this, Wajda returned to a war theme in a story about a Jewish boy Samson.

In 1967, Cybulski was killed in a train accident, and the director articulated his grief with what is considered his most personal film, Everything for Sale (1969).

The 1970s were the most lucrative and beneficial period for Wajda's artistic activity. He made over ten films, some of which were acclaimed as masterpieces: Pilate and others, Landscape After the Battle, The Wedding, The Promised Land, Man of Marble, The Orchestra Conductor - starring John Gielgud, Rough Treatment, The Birchwood and Maids of Wilko. Wajda continued his work in theatre and many of his most famous shows were shown at that time (his versions of Dostoyevsky's The Possessed and The Idiot - Nastasja Filippovna, November night, The Immigrants, The Danton affair and Dürrenmatt's Play Strindberg.

Wajda's later devotion to Poland's emerging Solidarity movement was manifested in Man of Iron (1981), with Solidarity leader Lech Wałęsa appearing as himself in the film, and earlier in Man of Marble (1976). The director's involvement in this movement would prompt the Polish government to force Wajda's production company out of business. For Man of Iron Wajda won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. In 1983 he directed Danton starring Gerard Depardieu in the title role, a film set in 1794 (Year Two) dealing with the Post-[Reign of Terror|Revolutionary Terror]]. For some critics in Poland, the film carries sharp parallels with the Post-Revolutionary period in Russia as well as with fascist Germany. But in fact Wajda shows how easily revolution can become terror and how quickly it can start to 'eat its own children'. Then Wajda made Love in Germany, Chronicle of Amorous Accidents and his film version of Dostoyevky's The Possessed. In theater Wajda worked on a Dostoyevsky adaption for the third time with Crime and Punishment and directed some other works like Dybuk or Antygone. In 1990 he showed another film masterpiece "Korczak".

In the early 1990s, he was elected a senator and also appointed artistic director of Warsaw's Teatr Powszechny. He continued to make films, addressing the topic of World War II in 1993's The Crowned-Eagle Ring and 1996's Holy Week.

In 1997, the director went in a different direction with Miss Nobody, a coming-of-age drama that explored the darker and more spiritual aspects of a relationship between three high-school girls. In 1999 there was a big artistic and box office success with Wajda's Pan Tadeusz. After that Wajda made a fanstastic political television spectacle Bigda idzie!, starring Janusz Gajos and the film version of Zemsta (The Revenge), starring Roman Polański and Janusz Gajos. At the 2000 Academy Awards, Wajda was presented with an honorary Oscar for his numerous contributions to cinema; he subsequently donated the award to Kraków's Jagiellonian University. In 2001 he opened the Andrzej Wajda Master School of Film Directing. In February 2006, Wajda received an honorary Golden Bear for lifetime achievement at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Andrzej Wajda has been married four times. His third wife was the popular actress Beata Tyszkiewicz, with whom he has a daughter Karolina (born 1967). His fourth and current wife is actress and costume designer Krystyna Zachwatowicz.

Wajda has just finished working on a very personal project, the film Katyń about the Katyn massacre, in which his father lost his life. The director shows this tragedy from the perspective of those (mothers, wives and daughters) who wait for their relatives. In August 2008 he started shooting his next film based upon another novel by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz Tatarak (Sweet Flag) with Krystyna Janda in the main role.

Andrzej Wajda founded The Centre of Japanese Art and Technology "Manggha" in Kraków. He also leads his own film school www.wajdaschool.pl, where students have different one year courses (led by famous European film makers) and work on their own projects. Many polish actors became famous due to their acting in Wajda's films (Daniel Olbrychski, Wojciech Pszoniak, Andrzej Seweryn, Jerzy Radziwiłowicz or Krystyna Janda).

Style

Template:Peacock Once dubbed a symbol for a besieged country, Wajda is known for drawing from Poland's history to suit his tragic sensibility—crafting an oeuvre of work that devastates even as it informs. His films are also famous of their visual sides. Wajda shows some symbolic scenes, very often he transforms some paintings onto the screen or makes new versions of some paintings from polish and European history.
