Munk – artysta niezastąpiony
Munk – an irreplaceable artist

Summary/Abstract: A review of Marek Hendrykowski’s "Andrzej Munk". In the book the author traces Munk’s life, and with a passion of a detective finds all kinds of information from archives, documents and memories and uses it to create a fascinating story. Although the biography of the director – albeit short – does not need any additional colour, the stories told by Hendrykowski are all coherent, interesting and often surprising. Hendrykowski recounts Munk’s private life and career, with all the dates, names and surnames duly noted, and adds a very interesting theme of friends and family, including all kinds of surprising minutia. Hendrykowski tries to show what Munk brought into Polish cinematography, his place in it, and any universal messages contained in his work.
