Synopsis:

Night Train (1959)
A man, Jerzy, enters a train set for the Baltic coast. He seems to be on the run from something. He has to share sleeping-compartment with a woman who also seems to be on the run. Eventually we get to know that the police are looking for an escaped murderer. Is it really Jerzy they are looking for?

Innocent Sorcerers (1960)
A doctor to boxers finds himself with a young girl on his hands for the night and a relationship develops between them.

Heroism (1958)
The first installment in Munk's war trilogy, Eroica is divided into two sections - Scherzo Alla Polacca, which describes how a desertee of the Warsaw Uprising's (Edward Dziewonski) mercenary opportunism results in his military decoration, and Ostinato Lugubre, which elaborates the operations of a POW camp set up to detain Polish insurgents.

Goodbye, See You Tomorrow (1960)
Janusz Morgenstern's touching story of young love. With outstanding performances from Polish superstar Zbigniew Cybulski (known as the Polish James Dean ) and a young Roman Polanski, and with music by the great Polish composer Krzysztof Komeda (Rosemary's Baby).

A 4-DVD set comprising four remarkable films (all available for the first time in the UK) from some of Polish cinemas most vital and provocative talents. All four films are newly remastered from brand new HD materials. Titles Comprise: Night Train: Night Train (1959): Jerzy Kawalerowicz's homage to Hitchcock. Two people - one of whom may be a vicious murderer - on the run and on a train bound for the Baltic coast. Taut and gripping with a wonderful jazz score. Innocent Sorcerers: Innocent Sorcerers (1960): Following after his renowned War Trilogy, Andrzej Wajda made this provocative film about contemporary youth from a script co-written by Jerzy Skolimowski. A young womanising doctor meets his match in the form of a spirited young woman.

Goodbye, See You Tomorrow: Janusz Morgenstern's touching story of young love. With outstanding performances from Polish superstar Zbigniew Cybulski (known as the 'Polish James Dean') and a young Roman Polanski, and with music by the great Polish composer Krzysztof Komeda (Rosemary's Baby).
