About 1968. Happy New Year
Spring of 1968, Warsaw. The fight for influence between top level Communist officials is the background to a developing love story between a young couple who are engaged in student protests. Both the young couple and their parents will pay a high price for their decisions, and their Jewish roots, which up until now seemed to have no meaning, but which will soon determine their fates.
Directed by Jacek Bromski, 1968. Happy New Year leans on a strong ensemble — Krzysztof Kolberger, Piotr Machalica, Jolanta Jackowska — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1993.
