What Katyn Is About
The 1940 massacre in which Soviet forces killed thousands of Polish officers, and the lie sustained about it for decades afterwards. Andrzej Wajda splits the film in two: first the families waiting, then the event itself. That order matters, because the audience already knows what the women do not, and their not knowing is the unbearable part. The director's own father was among those officers. The film never mentions this, though its restraint probably comes from there. The final section is long, direct and entirely unsoftened.
