A Year of the Quiet Sun

A Year of the Quiet Sun (1984) starring Scott Wilson, Maja Komorowska. In 1946, an American serviceman in postwar Poland finds himself attracted to a Polish woman who has been widowed by the War. He tries to take her back to America with him, but she says it is hopeless. What really irritated me about this film is that it is partly in Polish and partly in English, and there are no aids to help the hard of hearing to understand the English parts (the Polish sections are subtitled in English). So I missed a lot of dialogue. That aside, it was an intense, affecting film to watch. Grade: B-
