The FRiday Night Movie - Kanal(1957)

[DemforBush]

Tonight's movie is both an excellent WW2 film, and a fine bit of historical fiction. Kanal is the story of the final hours of a doomed Polish resistance group, fighting against the Nazis, as well as the odds and hope in what would become known as the Warsaw Uprising.

Directed by Andrez Wadjda. In Polish with English closed captioning.

[DemforBush]

Really good film here. Though the resistance group itself is fictional, the accounting of what it was like and what they faced is very accurate. Not surprising, as Wajda was himself a resistance fighter during the war. The use of "Goliath tanks" is a particularly well done (and historically accurate) scene.

There's no subtitles on this one, but the close captioning is very well done. Just hit the CC button at the bottom of the player and you'll be fine.

Enjoy!
