Insight Into Communist Rule in Poland

Christopher Lambert and Ed Harris star in this tense 1988 drama directed by the superb Polish director Agnieszka Holland. The film is a fictionalized version of the story of the Polish priest Jerzy Popieluszko, with Lambert in the lead role and Harris as the secret-police captain set to assassinate him. This film captures the personal courage and solidarity behind the overthrow of communist rule in Poland. An extremely well made and sensitive film.

Versioni alternative
The UK theatrical version was heavily cut by 3 minutes and 41 seconds for a '15' rating:
[Reel 4] After man escapes with stolen dog in car, remove sight of dog's head trapped in window as it is wound up (to conform with Cinematograph Films [Animals] Act 1937).
[Reel 5] In murder of priest in forest, reduce number of blows to his head.
[Reel 6] Reduce to minimum necessary to establish plot the sequence in which priest's head is covered with plastic bag before he is thrown into river, removing in particular all close shots of bloody face through plastic.
[Reel 6] When captain returns home to wife after committing murder, remove sight of her legs over his shoulders during sex as well as his facial reaction to orgasm (whole scene removed by distributor).
The video release reinstated much of the cut material and was upgraded to an '18' rating, but still removed 21 seconds of footage (replicating the first compulsory cut to animal cruelty).
