A Year of the Quiet Sun

1984 Drama

The Polish Year of the Quiet Sun is set in the years following World War II. In a small Polish town, a United Nations war-crimes investigation is taking place. While the courtroom battle rages on, American soldier Scott Wilson takes advantage of a few precious r-and-r opportunities. He falls in love with Maja Komorowska, a war widow. Despite obvious political and ideological differences, the romance flourishes--at least until it's time for the Americans to pack up and leave. More cerebral than carnal, Year of the Quiet Sun was originally release in Poland as Rok Spokojnego Slonca.

Director: Krzysztof Zanussi

Starring: Scott Wilson, Maja Komorowska, Hanna Skarzanka, Ewa Dalkowska, Vadium Glowna
