Maids of Wilko

Nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, Maids of Wilko is a beautifully observed account of rural Poland in the period between the two world wars.

Almost Chekhovian in its sensitivity and reticence, the film follows a veteran returning to his small town and joining in its everyday dramas, flirtations, and intrigues. (121 mins, 35mm)

The Polish Cultural Institute, New York, organized this tour.
