Szpulak Andrzej, Filmowe wcielenia Krzysztofa Kamila Baczyńskiego [Film Incarnations of Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński]. „Przestrzenie Teorii” 32. Poznań 2019, Adam Mickiewicz University Press, pp. 301–322. ISSN 1644-6763. DOI 10.14746/pt.2019.32.16. The text concerns two film biographies of Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński, an outstanding and legendary poet of the Second World War killed in 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising. The films Fourth Day by Ludmiła Niedbalska (1984) and Baczyński by Konrad Piwowarski (2013) were subject to a comparative analysis. It covered genaelogical issues, the poet’s biography and a presentation of his work. The analysis shows the extreme difference in creative concepts, and thus the various possibilities that the biographical film faces.

In his master’s thesis, Documentary Film and Reality, Krzysztof Kieślowski dealt with a number of problems that turned out to play a vital role in his future film career, and its documentary period in particular. This range of topics includes the concept of ‘the dramaturgy of reality’, one of the methods for factual filmmaking he intended to put into practice, but also such ideas as the relation between film and literature, between documentary film and ethics, and the difference between reportage and documentary filmmaking. These concepts had an influence on his documentary filmmaking andled him to develop other concepts and methods for documentary filmmaking. From the perspective of Kieślowski’s creative oeuvre, the thesis Documentary Film and Reality reads as a manifesto by the young filmmaker.

The question that this is article is concerned to answer is how the position of the film elegy can be best formally established - with its artistic representations, as well as its functioning in the genology of the genre. An attempt to provide definitive answers that emerge from interdisciplinary, film and literary discourse brings a number of substantial threads. Firstly, there is, indeed, no theoretical description of the elegy as a film genre, though the very name does appear in many titles. Secondly, it seems that a juxtaposition of available examples of film ad-aptations of elegies does not lead to any consistent conclusion, since, apart from the suggestion proposed by the author, they are different in terms of formal and thematic elements involved. Thirdly, any attempt at a genological profiling has to, somehow, refer to a more or less fixed literary genre and the relevant theory behind it. In a most general way, one can state, albeit with a number of reservations, that the elegiac film is characterized by a distinguishable style, often simply called the elegiac style, and the theme, very broadly associated with time and the theme of passing.

The author analyzes the cultural status of the unfinished adaptations of Don Quixote of Miguel de Cervantes, which were worked on for years by Orson Welles (1955–1985) and Terry Gilliam (1991–2018). Although there are many films about the errant knight, these two projects still arouse interest of critics, viewers and filmmakers. Barbaruk initially puts these perplexing obsessions in the context of the idea of film maudit and the romanticism of interpretations of Don Quixote, but considers that only referring to modernity, which is the embodiment of the film industry, makes it understandable. In the unfinished projects of Welles and Gilliam the author sees the potential for self-creation and interpretation (underlining of openness of Cervantes’s novel and the autonomy of its heroes) and a counter-cultural, critical force aimed at contemporary finality.
