The Maids of Wilko (1979) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wajda's 1979 film Maids Of Wilko (Panny Z Wilka- also translated as Young Girls Of Wilko) shows that, like such filmmakers as Ingmar Bergman, Robert Bresson, and Yasujiro Ozu, he is an artist more interested in endurances than mere 'scenes.' His characters speak as if philosophers, but in a naturalistic style.

Poland/France. Polish with English subtitles. 118 minutes. After a string of hard-hitting political works that roused the censors’ ire and brought him into the international spotlight, Wajda deliberately changed pace with this wistful, elegiac, almost Chekhovian recreation of a long-vanished Poland, based on a story by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz.
