Everything for Sale

Winner: Academy Award Lifetime Achievement

Inspired by the tragic death of the great Polish actor Zbigniew Cybulski, this Andrzej Wajda classic focuses on the behind-the-scenes lives of a director and his actors when they are disrupted by the mysterious murder of their leading man. It is, in Director Wajda's words, "A story about the people who make films - the directors and the actors." Film fiction mixes with reality as some of the actors play themselves. Everything For Sale can also be viewed as a glimpse into the way in which Wajda deals with his past and with his friendship with Cybulski.
