In his brief career, this talented artist made several films that had a great impact on his contemporaries and continued to exert their influence on Poland’s artistic community far beyond the director’s lifetime. His movies filled theaters and were the subject of heated and lengthy debates, becoming the favorites of many critics at home and abroad. American audiences were recently made aware of Munk’s film work as a result of the staging of Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s 1968 opera The Passenger in New York. Munk directed a film, unfinished at the time of his death and released in 1963, based on the same book as the opera. Andrzej Munk was born in Krakow in a Jewish family. He hid in Warsaw during the German occupation, taking part in the city’s uprising in 1944. In 1951 Munk finished film directing and cinematography studies at the prestigious Lodz Film School, alma mater of future filmmakers such as Andrzej Wajda, Kazimierz Kutz, Wojciech Has, Krzysztof Kieslowski and Roman Polanski. Munk first worked as a cameraman for the Polish Film Chronicle (10-minute newsreels shown in Polish cinemas prior to feature films) and later directed several short documentaries. He is best remembered for his four feature films, Man on the Tracks, Eroica, Bad Luck and Passenger. The director’s third “retrospective” film, Passenger, although unfinished due to his premature death, is Munk’s finest. Inspired by a radio drama, The Passenger from Cabin Number 45, by Zofia Posmysz-Piasecka, an Auschwitz survivor, it was first turned into a television drama and later into a play and, as noted above, an opera. Set in 1960, it tells the story of Liza, an SS officer during World War II, who accidentally meets her former concentration camp prisoner Marta, while travelling on a transatlantic liner from South America to Europe. For Liza, the encounter sets off an avalanche of memories. The film considers the ability of individuals to confront the past and asks to what extent they falsify history to justify themselves. Munk treats the Holocaust from the unusual perspective of one of its perpetrators. Ironically, a luxury liner, like its polar opposite, a grim and murderous concentration camp, is also removed from the regular stream of life and forms an “island” one cannot escape. Marta was at Liza’s mercy at Auschwitz. Now the roles, relatively speaking, are reversed. It is the former prisoner who has the power to expose Liza as a war criminal to her husband. The emotions that hit and overwhelm both women are frozen in black-and white stills of their faces, creating a photo album selected from the footage Munk shot before he was killed. Liza makes a very “human” attempt to recreate the reality of the Holocaust in a manner that legitimizes her actions. But the horrors of the mass murder, even if treated in a dispassionate and subtle way, cannot be suppressed or absolved and keep haunting her. It is through the avoidance of the most ghastly footage that Munk bolsters our sense of its terror: a single hand hanging out of a cart full of concealed bodies, the smile of a Jewish girl petting a vicious SS dog on her way to the gas chamber, a pile of goods confiscated by the Nazis and the sounds of Bach’s violin concerto covering machine-gun fire. Passenger, borrowing in part from Tadeusz Borowski’s works such as This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen (1959) , brilliantly depicts the reality of the concentration camp and the complexity of human actions under a totalitarian state system. Munk insightfully reveals the multiplicity of relationships between victims and oppressors; the manipulations of those in power and the humiliating responses of some sufferers who, convinced of the futility of any form of resistance, become numb and paralyzed, often ready to collaborate with their tormentors to survive. All in all, Andrzej Munk’s films were enormously appealing because they dealt with some of the most important experiences of wartime and postwar society. The filmmaker, who represented a generation born between the two imperialist wars and who experienced both fascism and Stalinism, managed to present these difficult, sensitive subjects with courage, intimacy, realistic objectivity and a sense of humor. Munk’s artistic courage lay in treating so-called “defensive [or just] war” (Poland’s role in World War II), anti-Semitism and nationalism, subjects at the time largely considered taboo as material for art, as the grist for parody. Using grotesquerie and satire to mock national mythology and hypocrisy, never laughing at people but pointing to the historical forces that formed their behavior, Munk successfully reframed the painful, traumatic experience of his generation and set it at a certain distance with the help of laughter. His treatment of the Holocaust was one of the most serious and multi-dimensional in the history of cinema. Possessed of generally left-wing sympathies, Munk was a sensitive, albeit inevitably conflicted member of the Polish artistic intelligentsia, a victim of overlapping Stalinist and nationalist ideological pressures, a man struggling with the aftermath of the Holocaust and his own social and personal identity, who tried to free himself from the chains of the past through critique and satire. His movies, although somewhat “unfinished” and far from perfect, are intriguing examples of critical realism through which Munk was able to create a humane and authentic portrait of his times.
