Has continues his preoccupation with the relationship between cinema and literature in his darkly funny third feature, about a sickly writer and the overcrowded single-room apartment he shares with a motley assortment of acquaintances and near-strangers in 1930s Warsaw. Evoking an altogether different kind of claustrophobia than in The Noose, One Room Tenants pays a kind of cynical tribute to the dreams and desires of Poles before the catastrophe of World War II.

My Town
Wojciech Jerzy Has, 1950, Poland, 7m
Perhaps Has’s most personal film: a documentary portrait of his hometown of Kraków, on the eve of his departure from the city.
