Bridge 1960

Directed by Janusz Majewski

A tense, compact adaptation of Ambrose Bierce’s “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,” Bridge (Polish title Most) recreates the surreal final moments of a condemned man awaiting execution during the American Civil War. In Majewski’s hands, the familiar twist — reality folding into illusion — becomes a lean, visual meditation on death, perception, and the fragility of hope.
