Kanal is an oppressive depiction of Poland's utter defeat in World War II and particularly of the total destruction of the Polish capital, Warsaw, during the final phase of World War II when the Poles became victims not just of the German Nazis, but also of a diabolical Soviet strategy.
Kanal was based on a longish short story by J. Stawinski, adapted for the screen by the author, another former A.K. [Armja Krajova] member.
The ambiguity which exists in Kanal is not an expression of some unresolved conflict in Wajda himself, but a direct consequence of certain weaknesses inherent in the film.
