Life
Ryszard Bugajski studied philosophy at the University of Warsaw and then film directing at the Łódź Film School ; he completed this course in 1973. In the 1970s he published prose works in magazines and realized film projects for Polish television. His first feature film was released in 1980. His second film also became his most famous work to date. In 1981/1982 he filmed the story of a woman who got caught up in the mill of the Stalinist judiciary in the early 1950s . After completing the film with the title Interrogation of a Woman , Bugajski left Poland and lived in Canada . The film is directly related to the resolution of movie studios X by Andrzej Wajda . Bugajski's film was banned and only saw its premiere on December 13, 1989. The premiere on the anniversary of the declaration of war in Poland had a high symbolic value after the political change that had taken place in Poland shortly before.
