The reactions of Polish cinema of the 1950s and 1960s to the global movement enabled the emergence of a specific form of modernism, which encapsulated the Eastern Bloc's cinematic postwar modernity and led to a phase of lateness in the 1970s, referred to as the decadent phase. The heart of this book focuses on Polish films from this late period, primarily between 1971 and 1984, to highlight subjectivity, self-reflection, and the pursuit of formalism accompanied by a singular authorial presence of the filmmakers and non-classical narrative patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMilosz Stelmach\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Audiovisual Arts, Jagiellonian University, Poland.
