Zacma: Blindness (2016)

Directed by Ryszard Bugajski

Drama

Overview

A little known episode from the life of Stalinist security police office Julia Brystiger. Her nickname Bloody Luna was a reference to her incredibly brutal methods of interrogation. In the early 1960s, she appears in a centre for the blind on the outskirts of Warsaw, a place often visited by Cardinal Wyszyński, whose imprisonment in 1953-1956 Brystiger supervised personally. During a difficult and heated discussion with the cardinal, Brystiger denounces the communist ideology and begs for forgiveness for her crimes and for guidance in her search for God.

Length 110 minutes

Viewing Notes

A really well done drama focusing on forgiveness through the eyes a less than sympathetic protagonist. Beautifully shot as well.
