История
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Wojciech Pszoniak (born in 1942 in Lwów, currently Ukraine), is a Polish film and theater actor.
Pszoniak gained international visibility following Andrzej Wajda's 1975 film The Promised Land, in which he played Moritz, one of the three main characters.
The actor left Poland during the period of political unrest in 1980-1981, which saw the appearance of the Solidarity trade union and ended with the imposition of martial law on December 13, 1981. Pszoniak found roles in France, where he is currently living and working. Since the fall of communism in Eastern Europe in 1989, Pszoniak has appeared in Polish movies and plays.
Internationally, he simplified his first name into Wojtek, which is the standard diminutive of the relatively formal Wojciech in the Polish language.
Pszoniak often plays Jewish characters, although he is not of Jewish descent. In France, this is partially attributable to his role in The Promised Land, as well as his foreign accent.
Pszoniak did not speak French when he emigrated to France, so he learned his theatrical lines phonetically; in movies like Danton, where he played Robespierre, his voice was dubbed. An anecdote about his language skills relates that when he finally started speaking French, one director told him that he preferred his old accent.

Le grand maître Felton - l'équipe de Fromm
Непобедимым чемпионом мира, Акивой Либскиндом гордится весь Советский Союз, но его слабое сердце может оборвать цепь его побед. Его противник — Павиус Фромм, сбежавший из Советского Союза. Когда чемпионат начинается, Фромм пытается нарушить его расписание и таким образом сбить концентрацию Либскинда, опоздав на первый ход. Его привычная наглость и общее презрение к правилам вынуждают Либскинда подать формальную жалобу жюри. Когда Липскинд угрожает отъездом, Фромм подает назад и пишет формальное извинение, чтобы не потерять шанс победить чемпиона. В результате таких ходов вне шахматной доски оба шахматиста начинают сдавать — Либскинд физически, а Фромм — ментально. Но шахматисты, однако, всего лишь пешки в большой политической игре между Советским Союзом и Западом. Режиссер Дембо вынес на экран в первую очередь эмоциональную битву между двумя незаурядными личностями, а не саму игру.

Краков, конец XIX века. Представители всех сословий Польши, разделенной между Австро-Венгрией, Германией и Россией, собираются в деревне на празднование мезальянса: молодой поэт женится на простой крестьянской девушке. Посреди веселья происходит классовое столкновение, вызванное изрядным подпитием и разрыванием рубах на груди. Действо переходит в гротеск, начинается фантасмагория и явь смешивается со сном. После выяснения отношений в духе "ты меня уважаешь?" и очередных возлияний все примиряются и встречают рассвет. Экранизация культовой польской пьесы Станислава Выспяньского. Первый фильм о славянских свадьбах и похоронах, породивший целую традицию от Кустурицы до Лунгина.
