Richard J. Brzostek - 06/10/2011

Life Sentence (Wyrok Zycia) is a drama about a life that takes a wrong turn, but not without the help of deception. The story begins at the trial of a woman accused of murdering her baby. Krystyna, a lawyer that watched the trial, decides to help out Jadzia (Jadwiga Andrzejewska) and appeal her case. We then learn how Jadzia came to this point in her life as she tells her story to Krystyna. Jadzia's story is very tragic. Her life was pretty normal a year earlier, with ambitions to better herself by studying at night while she works during the day. We know things did not work out as she hoped as Jadzia is serving her life sentence; but as we learn about what happened to Jadzia, we gain some sympathy for her. It all goes downhill fast when she went on a day trip to the country. On the train she met a man who she fell in love with, but when she returned to her job in the city, he didn't try to find her. She is so distracted from the encounter that she makes too many mistakes at work and gets fired. Without a job, she soon gets kicked out of her home. But the real surprise is that she got pregnant. Undoubtedly, her story is realistic and not too different than things that actually do happen. Despite all the sensation to this story, the gritty details are left off screen. Life Sentence, directed by Juliusz Gardan in 1933, isn't entirely a sob story. What makes the story more interesting is that there is a twist to the story. Krystyna is vigilant in wanting to help Jadzia, but she is linked to the man who was the other half in making Jadzia's life go downhill. Call it irony or karma, things come back with a bite.
