Zemsta Gombrowiczem podszyta. "Dziedziczka" Williama Wylera i "Plac Waszyngtona" Agnieszki Holland...
Vengeance Lined with Gombrowicz. William Wyler’s "The Heiress" and Agnieszka Holland’s "Washington Square"...

Summary/Abstract: Wajda compares two film adaptations of Henry James’s novel Washington Square, produced 50 years apart. Half a century is nearly an entire epoch in the history of the cinema both by virtue of technical progress and development of the cinematic awareness of viewers. Wajda focuses her attention on the heroine and uses her example to put emphasis on the elements corroborating Alicja Helman’s thesis that an adaptation is a testimony of the virtual type of reading of a specified community at a given time and place.
