An unforgettable and harrowing depiction of the last days of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising against the invading German Nazis, Kanał follows a band of surviving Polish Home Army soldiers who take to the sewers to avoid capture. Wajda’s second feature is both a thrilling WWII adventure and a vivid, melancholic testament to lives lost and martyr heroes born. Kanał remains strikingly fresh in conceit and execution, and presents Wajda’s most potent mixture of lyricism and horror. (Second Run)
