To jest może ważne – nigdy nie mieszałem swojego życia z filmami, to znaczy nigdy mi nie przyszło do głowy, no może w filmie Wszystko na sprzedaż jest jakaś... jakieś udręki reżysera, ale myślę, że to wielu reżyserów ma te same udręki i że to nie jest tylko i wyłącznie mój problem, który tam jest tam na ekranie przedstawiony. Starałem się unikać mieszać mojego życia osobistego z ekranem. No ale w tym momencie miałem jakieś, że tak powiem, trudności życiowe, jakieś konflikty, jakieś rozstania, jakieś rozwody. No i takie opowiadanie rodzajowe Polowanie na muchy wydawało mi się dobrym tematem, że kobieta próbuje zdominować mężczyznę, no i przedstawia taką właśnie modliszkę. Ale to nie był dobry pomysł. Nie wydaje mi się, żeby kino dobrze służyło takim, że tak powiem, rozgrywkom i takiemu załatwianiu interesów w ten sposób. Film wyszedł taki rodzajowy. Film może być... może nie być bez większego znaczenia i dosyć szybko o tym filmie zapomniałem. A ponieważ, jak powiedziałem, otworzyła się możliwość realizacji filmu dla telewizji, więc pomyślałem, niech sobie kinematografia zostanie ze swoimi problemami – ja spróbuję zrobić film dla telewizji.
I think this is important - that I never mixed my life with films, that is, it never entered my head, well perhaps in Everything for Sale there is some, an indication of the hardship a film director has, but I think that many directors have had the same hardships and it's not just my exclusive problem that's being shown on the screen there. I tried to avoid mixing my personal life with the screen. But just then I had, so to speak, problems in my personal life, conflicts, separations, divorces and so the genre tale Hunting for Flies seemed to me to be a good topic, where a woman is trying to dominate a man and presents as a sort of praying mantis. But this wasn't a good idea. I don't think the cinema was the best place for this kind of game and for sorting matters out in this way. It was a genre film. Perhaps it was a significant film, perhaps it wasn't, I forgot about it quite quickly but since as I've said there was the opportunity to make films for TV I thought let cinematography remain with its own problems - I'll try to make a film for TV.
Polish film director Andrzej Wajda (1926-2016) was a towering presence in Polish cinema for six decades. His films, showing the horror of the German occupation of Poland, won awards at Cannes and established his reputation as both story-teller and commentator on Poland's turbulent history. As well as his impressive career in TV and film, he also served on the national Senate from 1989-91.
