This article is devoted to Permanent Objections (1975) by Grzegorz Królikiewicz’s second feature film. Using archival materials and the filmmakers’ recollections, the author recalls the context in which the film was made and its reception. In his work, Grzegorz Królikiewicz showed the phenomena characteristic of People’s Republic of Poland: the process of negative selection, humiliation of human dignity, and the creation of power structures based on the master-slave relationship. Important in the construction of Permanent Objections is the slaughterhouse – a metaphor for the processes of functioning in People’s Poland and a reflection on what work, its essence, became in the People’s Republic of Poland. The price for this uncompromising commentary on reality was the marginalization of Permanent Objections only three screen copies were made) and the „censorship” of Grzegorz Królikiewicz, who has functioned on the margins of Polish cinematography ever since. |
