A famous Polish journalist presents a problem for the powers-that-be when he displays his full political skill and knowledge on a television show featuring questions and answers on a world conference by a panel of journalists. His enemies take away his privileges when he is away. The shock of being &quot;unwanted&quot; parallels a deeper disappointment in his private life: his wife has an affair with a jealous young rival, and after 15 years of marriage and two daughters wants a divorce. She offers no explanations as he tries to untie these problems himself. All the moves he makes are the wrong ones. He takes on drinking heavily with students eager to attend his seminar after discovering the class has been canceled. The journalist, once suave and commanding is reduced to silence.

In 1976, a young woman in Krakow is making her diploma film, looking behind the scenes at the life of a 1950s bricklayer, Birkut, who was briefly a proletariat hero, at how that heroism was created, and what became of him. She gets hold of outtakes and censored footage and interviews the man&#x27;s friends, ex-wife, and the filmmaker who made him a hero. A portrait of Birkut emerges: he believed in the workers&#x27; revolution, in building housing for all, and his very virtues were his undoing. Her hard-driving style and the content of the film unnerve her supervisor, who kills the project with the excuse she&#x27;s over budget. Is there any way she can push the film to completion?

Obsessive passion anatomized, with Oshima&rsquo;s two outsider lovers withdrawing from the militaristic world of 1936 Japan and diving ever deeper into an erotic universe of their own construction. A cause celebre for its hardcore elements, but its provocations go beyond mere censor baiting.
