Zbigniew Herbert: the shadows on the life of the eminent poet

Meeting with director Rafael Lewandowski

In Polish

Rafael Lewandowski, an experienced director with an eye for detail, discovers that the crystalline beauty of the works of Zbigniew Herbert hid the obscure personal life of a man struggling with anxiety, pain, and illness. This film, first of its kind, is a collection of statements of the people who personally knew Herbert, but never discussed him openly. Lewandowski and his co-director, Andrzej Franaszek, will discuss their experience with dissecting the multifaceted image of the poet through encounters with other people.
