Innovatively structured this unflinching examination of one man's life became an iconic cultural marker for a whole generation. The DVD is presented in a superb new director-approved HD transfer with restored picture and sound and features Marcin Latallo's acclaimed 1996 short film A Trace (Slad) about his father the lead actor in Illumination Stanislaw Latallo.
