  Slavic Dept Lecture: "PRL Noir: Specters of Communism in Contemporary Polish Cinema"

  This lecture examines the phenomenon of “PRL Noir”: a series of tele-cinematic returns to Poland’s socialist period (PRL standing for “People’s Republic of Poland”) that channel present-day anxieties over communism’s grim legacy through the highly stylized medium of crime drama.
