2 On the Silver GlobeAndrzej uawski had always wanted to lm his grandun-cles masterwork and saw the oer as a unique oppor-tunity to achieve that aim. uawski devoted over twoyears to the task of adapting the rst two volumes to thescreen. Between 1975 and 1977, he wrote the screenplayand lensed the lm on various locations around Poland,as well as Crimea, the Caucasus Mountains and even theGobi Desert.In spring 1977, however, the project came to a sudden haltwith the appointment of the hardline ideologue JanuszWilhelmi as the Vice-Minister of Culture. Perceiving theSelenites battle against the Szerns as a thinly-veiled alle-gory of the Polish peoples struggle with totalitarianism,Wilhelmi shut down the lming, which was 80% com-plete and ordered all materials destroyed.uawski went back to France to nd that the reels ofunnished lm were preserved, along with costumes andprops, by the Polish lm studio and archives and by mem-bers of the lms cast and crew. A passage of anothereight years was required, as glasnost and perestroika be-gan to thaw the ColdWar-dominated Eastern Europe, foruawski to be able to return again to Poland and editthe still-unnished remnants into a 166-minute rough ap-proximation of what the nished lm might have been.On the Silver Globe premiered at the Cannes Film Festi-val inMay 1988, with some critics proclaiming it a ruinedmasterpiece.
