Korczak, is a 1990 film by Andrzej Wajda shot in black-and-white, about Polish-Jewish humanitarian Janusz Korczak. It was screened out of competition at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
Reception
The epic was bitterly attacked during its Festival screening by some political commentators in France,[citation needed] notably, by virulently anti-Polish Claude Lanzmann,[citation needed] who would prefer to see the Poles being portrayed as the villains.[citation needed] Yet, among its strongest defendants was Marek Edelman, the Polish Jew who survived the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Wajda himself, saw the idea of showing the children being led into the Treblinka gas chambers as repulsive.[2][3]
