Andrzej Kondratiuk. Metafizyka
Andrzej Kondratiuk. Metaphysics

Summary/Abstract: The article is a farewell to Andrzej Kondratiuk, the film director who died on June 22nd, 2016. Most of his films dealt with ultimate questions, though sometimes in a tongue-in-cheek manner. The author notes that metaphysical elements that viewers may find in films are usually the result of the intentions of the director and sometimes of an over-interpretation on part of the viewer. Sometimes that which is irrational and difficult to interpret, appears in a given film in an unexpected and surprising manner. An example of such a case is the “Sundial”, made in 1997, where the metaphysical aspect was given by the real life. In the last scene of the film, Andrzej, the character played by Kondratiuk, bids farewell to the world, stressing that the year is 2016.
