"The Girls of Wilkco." A classic. Tarkovsky, Bertolucci, and several others have used

scenes in their famous films to pay homage to this one.
A man, after fifteen years spent fighting in WWI, returns to his boyhood home and visits the neighboring home where five daughters vied for his attention. From such a seemingly simple premise, based on a famous short and poetic novel, Wajda weaves an hypnotic meditation on memory, aging, and love. This film belongs on all top 50 of all time lists. It's remarkable that it was made in a few weeks, that it was immediately preceded by "Man of Marble," an political thriller. Wajda, along with Satjavit Ray, is the most underrated of the great, great directors. Many feel this is his masterpiece. I'd argue it is one but not his only one.....
