Golem
GOLEM (1979) is a loose retelling of Der Golem, Gustav Meyrink's 1914 novel. Replacing the ghettos of Prague with a garbage-strewn, dilapidated future, Szulkin's adaptation trades the golem for "Pernat," a clone manufactured for shadowy reasons by a totalitarian regime. Pernat, played with remarkable gentility by Szulkin favorite Marek Walczewski, interacts with the swifter edges of Polish society as he attempts to understand the institution that created him, and his purpose on the planet. Upon its release, the film won the Brown Lion at the GdaĆsk Film Festival, but has been all but forgotten today.
