In this look at one moment at the end of World War II in Poland, director Tadeusz Kijanski has set the time as September, 1944. The place is the right bank of the Vistula River just at the point where the German army is withdrawing from the city. The brutality of the Germans as they destroy the city and rape women is presented in all its horror. Then the Resistance fighters come along and a disabled war veteran tries to find a way to help their cause. Finally, Polish officers arrive on the scene, ready to welcome the Russians when they cross the Vistula. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

In this complex muddle of a spy story, Salomon (Miescyslaw Voit) is a Russian agent who was sent to West Berlin to complete an assassination and steal a notebook -- but ends up looking for his former lover and her son in Brussels while secret agents from all colors of the political spectrum are out to kill him. The son himself has his own marital problems to contend with, and soon he also becomes a focus of attention. Salomon's job is to somehow stay alive, though after many twists and turns in the plot, suspended disbelief has probably come crashing down for most viewers. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This haunting, symbolic drama is set in a small Polish town in 1918. An officer in the Austrian army has come to stay in a hotel owned by a Jew. The officer was born in Poland, he is the only guest in the hotel, and the area itself would one day be the site where many Polish Jews and other prisoners were killed by the Nazis. Although he knows he cannot survive (he has tuberculosis), the officer still goes out hunting for a prisoner in the forest because he wants to know what it is like to kill someone. Parallels to the future German occupation of Poland are explored in greater depth when another lieutenant arrives at the hotel and engages the officer in conversation. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

A beautiful Polish girl whose lover has gone to Rome to seek a divorce from his previous wife travels around Europe in search of him and suffers a variety of tragic adventures as the men around her try to fit her into their own selfish schemes. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

A Mother superior in a 17th-century convent finds herself possessed by the Devil in this Polish drama set in a convent of Ursuline nuns. Several attempts are made to exorcise the demon. While four priests attempt to banish the spirit, two more are burned at the stake for impregnating her. All but one of the other nuns allow Satan's minions to enter their bodies. An extremely devout priest uses every power at his disposal to exorcise them. But even self-flagellation cannot stop them. In desperation, the priest consults an aged rabbi who suggests that the "demons" are really manifestations of human nature. The priest then finds himself becoming possessed by the Mother Superior. Suddenly he desires her body and soul. To prove his desire, he murders two stable grooms. He then encounters the one unpossessed nun who has just spent a night of lovemaking with an aristocrat who has since tossed her out. She is terribly upset and the priest advises her to go back to the convent and tell the Mother Superior of the lecherous man's misdeeds. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
