About Kanal

In the last few days of the Warsaw Uprising during World War II, a modest group of Resistance members remains. The band must take refuge in the sewers under the orders of leader Zadra, but it's only a matter of time before they will have to emerge.

Kanal is a 1957 war film directed by Andrzej Wajda. Teresa Iżewska appears as "Daisy", Tadeusz Janczar as Ensign "Korab", Wieńczysław Gliński as Lieutenant "Zadra", and Tadeusz Gwiazdowski as Sergeant "Kula".

At 96 minutes long, it arrived in April 1957. Written by Jerzy Stefan Stawiński.

Shelv files it under underground, sewer, ruins, and polish resistance. In the United States it streams on Criterion Channel. It scores 7.6 out of 10 from 169 TMDB voters.

To Be or Not to Be, Schindler's List, and The Pianist make useful companions to Kanal, all filed under black and white and nazi.
