Propulsive, angry filmmaking that doesn't slow down throughout its (quite long) runtime. I loved the editing and the score, and would want to revisit this again in the future.

Wajda filmed Man of Iron, a follow-up to Man of Marble, which depicts Maciej's subsequent involvement in the Polish anti-Communist workers' movement. Man of Iron extensively deals with Mateusz's killing in the clashes of 1970.
