Drama History War

Story opens with Lucja Krol's husband under the tram. She gives birth to her fourth son on the floor of their new apartment. Neighbor Wiktor, a communist intellectual, befriends the poverty-stricken family but is soon arrested and sent to jail. During the war Lucja narrowly escapes a Nazi roundup at the black market. Her sons hold ardent Communist meetings in their apartment, with her blessing. Lucja works hard, but without complaint. After the war, Klemens is inexplicably arrested, accused by the new regime of being a collaborator. Wiktor, now a high-ranking party member, trying to defend him, himself falls into disgrace. Klemens is tortured to "confess" and dies in jail, a Communist to the end. Lucja is never told about his fate.

Simply a bunch of good movies (imho) with very few or relatively few views. There are many many others as well but I listed only one per director (mostly, I've added my personal favorites*) in order to include as many creators as I can while simultaneously avoiding ending up with something too chaotic (the recipients may anywise proceed to further filmographic research if they wish).

These films are available free worldwide with English subtitles at least through 30 September 2023 at 35mm.online/en/. It's unclear how long the films will remain free... the period has been extended month by month for almost two years. The site also includes shorts, animation, & documentaries, but those are not included on this list. I've published reviews of two of these films on The Cinematograph: The Eighth Day of the Week and Night Train.
