Stachówna reviews a book anthology on Kazimierz Kutz and his work – Kutzowisko 2 edited by Andrzej Gwóźdź. This is a continuation of sorts of the first volume on the director. The reviewer notes the consistent structure of the book – the volume is divided into three parts. The first deals with the biography of the artist, the second presents an analysis of the artistic value of his work, and in the final part Kutz’s first novel (written over 40 years) is reviewed. The book is richly illustrated, and carefully designed. A DVD with three rarely shown documentaries by Kutz is attached.

The following is the text of Rafał Marszałek’s address during the international conference on "The Warsaw Uprising in the Context of Polish-German Relations" (Warsaw, 30 March – 1 April, 2007). Marszałek argues that there is no room for an "absolute enemy" in the selected works by Andrzej Wajda, Kazimierz Kutz and Andrzej Munk of the so-called "Polish Film School" and that the films are free of the hatred to the Germans as invaders and occupiers. What emerge from the films are a toothless enemy and then a bodiless enemy. The thesis is exemplified in "Canal" – the death of the Warsaw insurgents is portrayed in a symbolic language; in "Ostinato lugubre", the second part of "Eroica", in which the Germans (as enemy) are not the demonic personification of oppression; in "The Dog" (part of "Cross of Valor") – the hero saves the life of the dog guarding inmates at an Auschwitz death camp; in "Speed", one of few war films in the history of cinema that does without the character of a (German) enemy. Marszałek points out that the "dematerialization" of the enemy flows from the special (both psychological and moral) instinct of self-preservation rather than forgiveness.

Celem artykułu jest rekonstrukcja szczególnej filmowej reprezentacji funkcjonariuszy Polskiej Zjednoczonej Partii Robotniczej w kontekście przemian w partii i jej społecznego postrzegania w latach 70. Analizując filmy „Gdzie woda czysta i trawa zielona” (1977) Bohdana Poręby i „Wysokie loty” (1978) Ryszarda Filipskiego, jak również wcześniejszą „Linię” (1974) Kazimierza Kutza, autor zastanawia się, jaki był kontekst ich powstania, w jaki sposób były konstruowane postacie sekretarzy, jakie problemy uważano za najważniejsze, jak te filmy były postrzegane w kontekście ówczesnego kina. Aby odpowiedzieć na te pytania, oprócz filmów trzeba uwzględnić także stenogramy komisji kolaudacyjnych oraz kolejne wersje scenariuszy i scenopisów, jak również recepcję prasową. Pozwala to ukazać, jaką rolę i sensy przypisywano tym filmom, jak również wskazać na dystans, jaki dzielił oficjalną recepcję od ich rzeczywistego znaczenia.

The purpose of this article is the reconstruction of film representation of the officers of the PZPR (Polish United Workers’ Party) in the context of changes in the party and its public perception in the 1970s. The author in his analysis of Bohdan Poręba’s „Where the Water Is Pure and the Grass Is Green” (1977) and Ryszard Filipski’s „High Flights” (1978), and the earlier „The Line” (1974) by Kazimierz Kutz, considers the context of their creation, how were the characters of the party secretaries constructed, which problems were considered to be most important and how were these films perceived in the context of the contemporary cinema. In order to answer these questions what needs to be considered apart from films, are the transcripts of the approval committees and subsequent versions of screenplays and storyboards, as well as press reception. This reveals the role and meanings attributed to the films, as well as the distance that divided the official reception from their actual meaning.
