Andrzej Wajda - most famous Polish film director, an Oscar winner
Once dubbed a symbol for a besieged country of Poland, Wajda is known for drawing from that country'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.
He always tries to give the right mood and atmosphere of period he is telling about, by referring to particular visual characteristics. Wajda makes great epic pictures as well as some existential, psychological ones.
