Krzysztof Zanussi, more than seventy years as well on the shoulders of fifty paces behind the camera with a fancy, a fantasy, but at same time, a penalty and an own morale of those who lived only an intellectual, researcher, physicist, philosopher and filmmaker in Poland from the '60s to today. Extraction Catholic and still a member of the Pontifical Commission for Culture, has become famous around the world with From a Far Country, a film which in 1981 devoted to the figure of John Paul II and three years later having won the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival with The Year of the Quiet Sun . Aided by a literature almost nonexistent in Italy many of his best films ( The crystal structure and Lighting all) remain invisible and unknown to the general public. Nevertheless Zanussi remains tied to the land which owes its origins (from Friuli his ancestors moved to Poland), not only chewing a perfect Italian, but also turning films like Persona non grata , 2005, in which he wanted to play Valeria Golino, Renzo Balducci and Remo Girone. Making the result of a personality so multifaceted, a man of culture as histrionic and so emblematic a figure for the east European cinema such as Zanussi, it would be difficult for even the most critical launched here, perhaps, because the same Krzyszotf offers us his "recollections, reflections, anecdotes "in his autobiography published by spirals. It 's impossible to deny that at first sight Time to Die may seem a bit like a brick' difficult to digest nearly four pages on a director who has never made the masses dell'intelleggibilità his forte, may seem Half an adventure for those of Zanussi is not the most obstinate supporter. But the prose passionate, intense and confidential at the same time, the many anecdotes and interesting facts drawn from the memories of the cylinder counterbalance those reflective pauses that Zanussi and gives shape to a story that is not only the story of a life, but rather the opportunity to get close contact with the countries of the protagonists of the Cold War, to realize how the Soviet bloc was able to influence and limit the intellectuals of the time, but at the same time being one of the primary sources of inspiration. To understand how short Zanussi, director, producer and man of culture in the round regardless of the political situation could not be living day after day and how many of his films are actually daughters, for better or for worse, for a certain period and their response to it. What time death seems to require (a not inconsiderable effort of reading) is actually little more than appearance: passed the first hurdle, the prejudice that wants to film a meatloaf indigestible Eastern Europe, the reading appears fairly smooth.
