The article concerns the results of transferring debut novel of Dorota Masłowska to silver screen, the novel which, as could be assumed, cannot be transferred successfully. The language of the book’s narrator influences strongly on the shape of the world created in the book, the story is filled with surrealistic visions, the characters are tangled in (linguistic) reality, ideologies (xenophobia and cosmopolitanism, radical ecology and “civilization of death”, liberalism and conservatism) and cultural clichés. The movie of Xawery Żuławski conducts – in my opinion – a fine adaptation, translating elements of the linguistic style into film style, and using for it such components as dialogues, acting, ways of deforming film world with specific formal endeavors as well as emphasizing fictional character of diegesis by introducing a character of Dorota Masłowska (played by her own) in the process of writing the very book and confronted directly with the invented characters.

The paper compares Hanna Krall’s reportage and the film adaptation directed by Jan Jakub Kolski. I have analyzed the parabolic elements of their stories. Both the text and the movie are about hiding a Jewish woman during World War II by a Polish married couple in a wardrobe in their flat. I attempt to find out how the sense of the Krall’s reportage becomes ambiguous and unclear, characteristic to the belles-lettres. Kolski adapted the text that was based on another story. I try to analyze how this universalist domain (present in the reportage) was transformed in an artistic way in the movie. The parabolic elements present in the text and in the film make it possible to reveal the cultural archetypes connected to the Holocaust.

This article aims to provide in-depth analysis of one of the most overlooked Andrzej Wajda’s films Panna Nikt, which is an adaption of Tomek Tryzna’s novel. In reference to Don Fredericksen’s concept of liminality of the director’s cinema, the author of the article examines the motifs of initiation in the movie. Wajda had a double reason for representing the rite of passage: to tell a story of a girl in her puberty period and to create a metaphor of Poland after the transformation in 1989. Although the director was critical towards cultural changes and the influences of the western pop culture, he tried to capture the audience attention by the use of postmodern aesthetics. Because of this Panna Nikt is full of contradictions and could be regarded as an expression of Wajda’s own, artistic liminality.

In my text I analyse Weiser Dawidek – a novel written in the mid-1980s by Paweł Huelle (who was a novice author at the time) and its film version Weiser, adapted and directed by Wojciech Marczewski in 2001. I focus on reception of both of the works. The story, which was recognized as one of the most important literary phenomenon in the late 1980s, begins with a “primal scene” of an anti-Semitic harassment and assault performed by Catholic male adolescents on their schoolmate Dawidek. Nevertheless, the Jewish aspect of the novel and its apparent reference to the Holocaust was not perceived by most of the reviewers and literary critics. I draw upon various theoretical contexts (e.g. Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, memory and trauma studies) as I attempt to discuss the complex problem of the legacy of the Holocaust in Poland.
