Nikt Nie Woła
''Nikt nie woła'' (''Nobody's Calling'') is a Polish black-and-white narrative film from 1960, directed by Kazimierz Kutz, loosely based on the novel of the same title by Józef Hen. The film tells the post-war story of a deserter from the anti-communist underground (played by ) who tries to settle in a former German town and becomes infatuated with one of the local women (played by ). While making significant changes to Hen's novel, Kutz, together with cinematographer Jerzy Wójcik (cinematographer), Jerzy Wójcik, also experimented with form, giving the film a painterly, artistic quality. Initially dismissed by critics, ''Nikt nie woła'' later gained recognition as one of Kutz's most important works, and it was seen as a creative dialogue with Andrzej Wajda's film ''Ashes and Diamonds (film), Ashes and Diamonds'' (1958). At times, ''Nikt nie woła'' was compared to the films of Michelangelo Antonioni, with some critics noting the film's pioneering qualities, anticipating the I ...

Cult Film
A cult film, also commonly referred to as a cult classic, is a film that has acquired a cult following. Cult films are known for their dedicated, passionate fanbase, which forms an elaborate subculture, members of which engage in repeated viewings, dialogue-quoting, and audience participation. Inclusive definitions allow for major studio productions, especially box-office bombs, while exclusive definitions focus more on obscure, transgressive films shunned by the mainstream.

Cult films trace their origin back to controversial and suppressed films kept alive by dedicated fans. In some cases, reclaimed or rediscovered films have acq ...
