Wajda maintains the rythm, the despair, the nihilism; the war reaches a basement phase here and has strong images
September, 1944. It's the 56th day of Warsaw's uprising against the Nazis. The third Platoon of the Resistance is down to 43 heroic men and women, and they're penned in.

"Certainly a rousing success in it's anti-war tone and messaging, I found myself needing more from Kanal despite quite enjoying it. It never feels as much like horror as it should, as the cinematography doesn't quite manage to nail the claustrophobia in the sewers, which has a ripple effect of downplaying the paranoia and insanity they create. That being said, it isn't a film without effective terror: The way people treat each other in these situations becomes supremely clear as social norms begi"
