This course will examine selected feature films and literary texts as well 
as cinematic adaptations of Polish literature which reflect both the 
Polish postwar reality and universal values. Among the works studied will 
be film director Krzysztof Kieslowski's "The Decalogue" and those by 
science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem. Also addressed in the course will be 
the Polish experience of such American artists as Roman Polanski and Eva 
Hoffman.
