What happens
Nikt nie woła (Nobody's Calling) is a Polish black-and-white narrative film from 1960, directed by Kazimierz Kutz, loosely based on the novel of the same title by Józef Hen. The film tells the post-war story of a deserter from the anti-communist underground (played by Henryk Boukołowski) who tries to settle in a former German town and becomes infatuated with one of the local women (played by Zofia Marcinkowska). While making significant changes to Hen's novel, Kutz, together with cinematographer Jerzy Wójcik, also experimented with form, giving the film a painterly, artistic quality. Initially dismissed by critics, Nikt nie woła later gained recognition as one of Kutz's most important works, and it was seen as a creative dialogue with Andrzej Wajda's film Ashes and Diamonds (1958). At times, Nikt nie woła was compared to the films of Michelangelo Antonioni, with some critics noting the film's pioneering qualities, anticipating the Italian director's work.
