详细介绍：The Doll is an adaptation of the novel, The Doll (novel) by Boles?aw Prus, which is regarded by many as one of the finest Polish novels ever written and, along with Pharaoh (novel), made Boles?aw Prus a potential candidate for the Nobel Prize in literature. The influence of ?mile Zola is evident, and some have compared the novel to Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert; both were Prus's contemporaries. The movie, however, may be more compared to Stendhal's Le Rouge et le Noir, (The Red and the Black). The Doll constitutes a panorama of life in Warsaw between 1878 and 1879, and at the same time is a subtle story of three generations of Polish idealists, their psychological complications, their involvement in the history of the nineteenth century, social dramas, moral problems and the experience of tragic existence. At the same time this story describes the disintegration of social relationships and the growing separation of a society whose aristocratic elite spreads the models of vanity and idleness. In the bad air of a backward country, anti-Semitic ideas are born, valuable individuals meet obstacles on their way, and scoundrels are successful. This poetic love story follows a nouveau riche merchant, Stanislaw Wokulski, through a series of trials and tribulations occasioned by his obsessive passion for an aristocratic beauty, Izabela Lecka, played by the famous Polish actress, Beata Tyszkiewicz. Plot: As a descenda nt of an impoverished P olish noble family, yo ung Wokulsk i is forced to work as a w aiter at Ho pfer& ;#39;s, a Wars aw restaurant, while dreaming of a life in sci ence.
