Stanisław Wyspiański's The Wedding (1901) is the most important twentieth-century play in Polish and an iconic work of turn-of-the-century modernism. The ghosts of the area surrounding the old capital city of Kraków mingle with characters representing all strata of society as a wedding reception is transformed into a phantasmagoric dreamscape. Andrzej Wajda's film is the most moving and adventurous of his several adaptations of Wyspiański's work, and it introduces a new stylistic phase marked by a constantly moving camera and richly symbolic explosions of color.
